Disliked: Staff & service
Après une réservation confirmée, nous nous sommes présentés à l'hotel qui était fermé. Personne au téléphone. Deux heures s'écoulent avant de joindre un responsable qui nous confirme la fermeture de celui-ci et nous invite à aller voir ailleurs. Devant le peu de faiplay rencontré, nous ne pouvons que déconseiller fortement afin de ne pas vous retrouver dans la même situation.
