+ I like how they treat us, we had trouble with the shower in our bathroom. Water was all over the bathroom and tried to get into the room. We let them know and they give us a better room with no problem
− I booked for 2 nights they took the money twice on my account. This is the only huge problem we still facing, hasn’t been resolved yet
