i am writing this from a different hotel, where we finally feel safe and respected after escaping the absolute nightmare that was Hotel Plaza Génova. We cut our 4-night stay short after just two days, and the reason was not just the filthy conditions, but what I can only describe as systematic harassment and extortion.
This hotel subjected us to a predatory scam. Despite paying an upfront "additional person" fee at check-in, staff member Tatiana harassed us with 4 calls and 4 texts before illegally locking us out of our room. They demanded more money to reactivate our key, holding our belongings hostage. This extortion was repeated nightly. The rooms were uninhabitable, reeking of sewer and with a flooded, backed-up shower. Our requests for a room change were ignored. The combination of bullying, fraudulent charges, and vile conditions forced us to abandon our paid stay and leave early. This is not just a bad hotel; it is a scam operation. Avoid at all costs.
