Un quiproquo qu'ils ont vite pris en charge pour notre confort. Je voulais prolonger le séjour à cause d'une annulation d'avion et ils pensaient que je déplaçais ma venue, donc lors de notre arrivée rien n'était prêt. Ils sont venus très vite pour préparer la chambre. Un contact très agréable et empathique.

Communication was clear, but the rooms are very noisy, being located right over and in front of live music venues.
