"Hormis la gentillesse du gardien et des jeunes filles au restaurant, l'expérience a été douloureuse ! EXTRÊMEMENT BRUYANT !! De plus, alors que j'avais effectué ma réservation, cinq mois auparavant et que je l'avais déjà réglée, il a fallu que je prouve que j'avais payé et ça a pris beaucoup de temps... De toute façon quoi qu'il en soit : hôtel pas du tout pratique, une seule prise dans la chambre sur laquelle elle était branché le ventilateur donc c'est soit vous mourrez de chaud. Soit vous...
