Schlechter Geruch im Haus - keine Rekation
Pros:

Gutes Frühstück

Cons:

Fischgeruch im Aufzug und Zimmer. Komplette Kleidung riecht nach Aufenthalt nach Fisch. Es wurde nur ein Duftbaum in die Klimaanlage gesteckt. Mitarbeiter geben an, dass das Problem nicht neu sei. Auf Beschwerde per Mail wird nicht reagiert.
