The worst of the worst.

The room is as hot as a sauna. Why can't you turn on the air conditioning in advance? All the curtains are open and the sun is shining in. The parking garage is ridiculous. The parking space is mainly intended for pedal cars. The staff and hotel management have reserved the best spots for themselves. Never again to this particular hotel. The worst of the worst.
