Such a disappointment
Room was nice but could hear the room next door like we were sharing it, but the overall service is dramatic, barely anyone outside of 3 people we have met were smiley and amicable, breakfast people are working like they are in jail, most of the staff is if not rude then very cold and self focus so difficult to have a discussion or just sharing anything, even to drop your car key is a challenge.
