"It was a very nice hotel. The only thing that I was very unhappy was that if you rent a room with no view, that means there’s no window at all so you’re in just four walls. I thought that should’ve been a note of not knowing no view means there’s no windows. Hairdryer there is no hairdryer you had to ask for the hairdryer at the reception to use it, AC they had to control the AC you couldn’t control in your own room but everything else was good. The breakfast was very delicious but everything...
