the reception girl, i swear, she just stared blankly when i checked out. didn't ask how my stay was or anything. the fire alarm in the room decided to have a party at like eight in the morning. nobody bothered to explain this sudden wake up call. also, it seems the bath was on vacation because it didn't get cleaned or the duvet straightened, lazy job really.

attractive barignored request
The restaurant and bar seemed clean. It looked attractive.
I requested a room change because I wanted a different view, but this request was completely ignored during my three nights. I guess it was too much trouble.
