Потрясающая локация.

В номере были комары. Мы провели две ночи и нас сильно покусали. Это был не один или два насекомых, а очень и очень много. В ванной комнате и в закрытом баре в комнате, в шкафах, комары были повсюду. Это не первый наш визит в этот отель, мы уже третий раз там останавливаемся, но первый раз когда нам не понравилось размещение. Считаю, что это не допустимо для отеля такого уровня.
