I asked for a room upgrade at check-in and was immediately told I was getting the room I had paid for. In addition, when I asked about access to the sauna/hammam area, which I’d read was available to hotel guests, I was told it was ONLY available to VIPs such as the general manager of COPA airlines and I didn’t meet their criteria of a VIP guest. I was made to feel like I wasn’t worthy.
