adequate stay, but issues arose
garden arearude receptionist
the balcony overlooked the garden area and was centrally located.
i booked and paid for a balcony room, but i was given a room without one at check in. when i asked about it, the front desk guy literally yelled at me, calling me a complainer. it was disappointing to be treated so poorly after paying for a specific room type.
