"Poor value for money. The rooms were very basic, more like a guesthouse, though the overall setting was lovely, situated in a garden. We were checked in by a man from the marketing department who seemed deliberately unaccommodating towards senior guests. He initially claimed there were no twin rooms available upstairs, so we had no choice but to accept a ground floor room. After spending a long time looking at the computer, he assigned us room 168, which was tucked away very far inside. Not only was it a long walk to get there, but the room also had an unpleasant odor. We were already exhausted from our journey, and it felt like he was deliberately trying to make things difficult for us. We had to walk all the way back to the front desk to ask why he had assigned us such a distant room. He seemed flustered, glanced at his computer, and within seconds, magically found a closer room, 108. It was clear he could have made proper arrangements from the start, but he chose to create unnecessary trouble. I truly don't understand people like that. Everywhere else we've traveled, upon seeing our age, we've always been given conveniently located rooms. I didn't give zero for service because the lobby manager always greeted us with a smile when we passed through, and after we left, someone called to ask for our feedback. However, someone like him has no business being in a customer-facing role; he'd be better off as a cleaner."
