Todo lo enunciado sonaba grandioso

− Me cancelaron la reserva el mismo día que iba hacia el hotel, dañando todo mi itinerario y ocasionando estrés a mi tiempo que iba a ser de descanso

− Нам пришло оповещение, что нас не могут заселить за 10 минут до нашего приезда в отель. При вопросе, в связи с чем произошла отмена бронирования, объект сообщил, что заселение невозможно, потому что отель травит паразитов. Нам пришлось буквально на улице перед отелем искать другое место, где нас готовы будут принять
