fine architecturecomfortable bedsrude staffinsufficient tables
the architecture is fine. the beds are very comfortable.
the staff didn't greet us unless we greeted them first, some were quite rude. this morning at breakfast, we were practically asked to leave the table because there weren't enough tables for all the guests. i never saw a manager except on the first day when i asked for the bill.
