Pour un hôtel 4 étoiles, les services fournis devraient adaptés à tout type de clients et non seulement anglophones. Lorsque cela n'est pas possible essayez de proposer une carte menu bilingue. Proposez toujours aux clients s'ils veulent faire un deposit ou non plus tôt que d'avoir à dire à un client, qui signe sa note sur sa chambre qu'il n'a pas de provision et doit payer immédiatement apres consommation. Pour moi, c'est une déception.
