La camera assegnata, definita “classica” ma probabilmente basic è più corretto, non è stata di mio gusto perché piccola, rumorosa, con mobilio e serramenti vecchi e malridotti. Quando ho fatto presente la cosa - in effetti non subito - una impiegata ha cercato di scaricare sul cliente la responsabilità dicendo che avrei dovuto dirlo prima, dimostrando poca professionalità per tacere della poca empatia. Dopo aver parlato con il Direttore, persona educata e gentile, ci è stata assegnata una stanza della stessa categoria ma 3 piani più in alto. Comunque rumorosa ma ho apprezzato il gesto. Hall molto ben tenuta. Ottima la colazione. Il personale addetto alla colazione si è dimostrato premuroso e professionale.
