Senza acqua e non attenti al cliente
Pros:

Disponibile bollitore con the e caffe

Cons:

Arrivo in hotel alle 21 e il receptionist mi dice che per lavori sono senza acqua ma che sarebbe tornata la mattina dopo. Ho dovuto chiedere 2 vole per avere delle bottiglie di acqua per il wc. La mattina l'acqua c'era ma alle 22 quando rientro in hotel niente di nuovo, e passando mi ha pure salutato senza dirmi niente ne darmi altre bottiglie di acqua. 2 sere su 3 senza acqua non un buon bilancio.
Pulita era pulita ma entrando in camera una puzza di chiuso e umido che mi ha fatto dubitare di poter dormire li dentro. Bastava ventilarla prima dell' mio arrivo, posizionare una chiave all'interno in modo da attivare la corrente per deumidificare la stanza perchè pian piano è migliorato l'odore. Deposito bagagli a pagamento, alle 5.50 puntualissimi rumori di spostamenti ai paini superiori e l'apparenza é che abbiako fatto dei lavori per piglirare l'aspetto, tipo del bagno, ma la malta spalmata sulle piastrelle che fa molto contemporaneo sembra solo un lavoro venuto male.
