صاحب الحلال كان موجود في البوفيه وكان يسأل بعض الي يفطرون عن جودة الاكل والمكان هذا الصح الرقابة اهم نقطة في الاستثمار
Pros:

الموقع ممتاز - إطلالة رائعة والمطعم والبوفيه ممتاز جداً والعاملين بقمة الاحترام لو رجعت للفندق برجع عشان المطعم.

Cons:

المواقف محدودة وصعبة في الدخول والخروج - الاستقبال غير متعاونين
طلبت صيانة المكيف قبل العصر وطلعت رجعت 1 منتصف الليل نفس الوضع كلمت الاستقبال
قالي برسلك فني جلست ساعتين انتظره وبالاخير محد جاني كلمتهم قالي جاء العصر الفني وشيك عليه؛ قلت طيب ما ضبط قالي أنقلك لغرفة ثانية !!
طيب ومن العصر ليش ماكلمتني وقلت فيه مشكله وانقلك ويوم رجعت تسحب علي ساعتين.
هل يعقل انقل اخر الليل اغرضي وبزارين نايمين
التجربة سيئة مع الاستقبال من المصري والسعودي الي مستلم المساء.
