Fournir plus de bouteilles d'eau
Pros:

L'emplacement est idéal. Le personnel est à l'écoute et toujours disponible. Le petit-déjeuner est juste incroyable.

Cons:

Le fait de n'avoir qu'une seule bouteille d'eau de moins de 1l disponible chaque jour dans la chambre alors que nous étions deux et que nous en consommons beaucoup. Nous l'avons dit aux dames de ménage mais rien n'a changé jusqu'à notre départ.
