Valor extremamente alto sem retorno

Paguei um valor alto por 2 dias de diária que se resumem a uma localização boa apenas. O café da manhã não era nada sensacional, extremamente comum. Não limparam o quarto e quando fui pedir toalhas falaram que não limparam porque eu não havia deixado as chaves - porem kk check in ninguém comentou sobre. A única comidade do hotel que é a sauna, nao foi possível utilizar. Na sexta falaram que ela fechava as 17h e no sábado ninguém consegui ligar, mas falaram que era 24h. Um desencontro de informações sempre e a sensação que o valor de 1300 para duas diárias foi extremamente alto, para o retorno. No quarto embaixo da cama tudo muito sujo e a TV extremamente pequena que não conseguíamos nem ver um filme. Estacionamento bom para deixar o carro e chuveiro bom para o banho e localização o que destaco para pontos positivos apenas.
