"El elevador estaba dañado y no hubo ninguna consideración, por el contrario la habitación asignada era en el 3er piso. Cuando le comenté que sería mejor un cuarto en el 1er piso, el hombre de la recepción me dijo que no estaba obligado a quedarme, que podía buscar en otro lugar. El mayor problema que llegue tarde en la noche y la solución del hombre fue que me fuera a otro lado cuando por el contrario mantuve una buena actitud.
