Hi Jack,
The vicinity of the hotel was excellent and the people were friendly enough and the room was clean.
I did miss no air conditioning and there was only 1 power point which was nowhere near the desk which seemed strange.
The service from Jack was perfect and he kept me informed all the way so if I come across again I will use you guys again.

Hi Michael and Tracy,
Thank you for follow up.
Was a nice hotel, although it was placed a long way from our originally booked hotel in the center of the city – so it had an extra cost for taxi’s.
Besides that we had some good days and the hotel was nice – we were all named Ronni, which gave som challenges as that is not our names, and they could not change the names at the hotel.
Best regards/Med venlig hilsen
