room servicebad viewadditional charge
The breakfast was served in the room, and that was acceptable.
The room I booked was not like the description. I booked a garden view, but the view faced a wall and trash cans were underneath. Management wanted more money for the view I already paid. The tv was in the shower area, so I could not see it from the bed.
