After a long and tiring journey, we discovered that this hotel had no accommodation for us. We were transferred to another hotel on the outskirts of the city. In your advertisement, you stated that all hotels were located in the city center. In addition, I think your staff should have handled these problems in a better way. Some of them were rather rude when complaints were made. Because of these problems, I think your company should consider appropriate refunds. Yours truly, Anna Sadewa 1.
