L'absence d'ascenseur ( nous le savions à la réservation, mais avec nos 2 grosses valises, pas facile ). Personne au bar de l'hôtel pendant une bonne heure donc impossible de commander des boissons. Le gros moins : A 2 h du matin, nous avons été réveillés en fanfare par une sonnerie stridente dans notre chambre, nous avons cru qu'il y avait le feu! Mais rien du tout. A 7h du matin, nouvelle sonnerie stridente donc nouveau réveil! Et par la suite, de multiples sonneries dans le couloir de l'hôtel. Aucune explication du personnel, aucune excuses, nous avons passé une très mauvaise nuit.
