Palapye getaway
Delayed checkin because of difficulty accessing online booking however hotel staff member was quite proactive and pleasant and kindly worked to resolve the matter. Checked in on a Friday night with loud music from the chill session audible from my room till early hours of the morning. Old carpet needs to go- during next scheduled refurbishment. The beds were comfy though and staff was polite.

Der erste Eindruck war gut. Reception und Check in gut. Pool war belagert von Nichthotelgästen. Restaurant und Essen sosolala. Personal eher ungebildet.
