    Not a place to stay with Kids”

    We have been disappointed with the overall experience. The best part was the staff mainly the Lady Manager and the hospitality. Overall with small kids i will not recommend this place. The Breakfast was below par, there was a power outage, rooms had bugs and the location is not kids friendly. If you are travelling alone then you can manage.

    此行最大的坑”

    先吐槽一下该酒店的女经理,表面看似热情,实则不愿提供任何实质性的服务,可能老板本身也比较抠吧。酒店在半山腰上,因为这个城市本身山多,路不好走不好找也就认了。房间很小,不通风,三人间的床居然是一米五的!洗脸池安的特别高,大概是给身高两米的人用的吧,最后一天去霍顿给准备的三明治早餐大概是前一天晚上做好放在冰箱里的,又凉又小。在餐厅吃个饭等了一个多小时才做好,总之这个酒店是这次旅行中最不满意的一家。
