Acceptable Stay with Issues
clean appearancearrogant attitudeincorrect billing
The resort had a generally clean appearance, which I appreciated.
My bill had some SERIOUS issues at checkout. I asked for clarification on the bar invoices but the staff couldn't provide it because the person responsible was busy with breakfast. The staff member's arrogant attitude made this WORSE. I eventually learned that someone from a different hotel ordered drinks using our room number, and it took hours to sort out.
