I forgot to wear my wedding ring for one night and the next day it was missing from my room. Most likely during housekeeping. the response i got was , 'if we find anything, we'll text you on whatsapp. ' i felt this was not enough given the seriousness.

The room reeked of cigarette smoke! even though it was a non-smoking room, it smelled awful. also, i had to pay for parking. i think parking should be free. the staff seemed indifferent in the breakfast and dinner restaurant. Some made me uncomfortable.
