One More Disaster with AI booking

I took one look at the room after checking in and wouldn’t even consider sleeping there. I tried to contact you but it was nearly impossible to use that little box. It kept erasing my message when The tried to correct any errors. I finally sent the message with errors but your Ai is bad. It didn’t regard the contend but noted the errors. AI is really problematic for booking properties!!!

Good hotel with friendly staff.

Short stay, good condition for a 3 star hotel. Receptionist was polite. You can have access to underground carpark if driving with a €12 charge. No issues.

Dont stay here

Front desk gentleman extremely rude. Not helpful with parking and accused us of letting csts into the garage behind us. When checking out after 3 days the older lady in reception had trouble with running our credit card snd suggested we mydt be over our credit limit? When she tried the other machine it went thru immediately. We were asked to use the same towels for three days when i asked for an extra towel it was really big deal. This is a one star hotel.
