So, picture this: We were all excited about our hotel stay. They dangled this fancy upgraded room carrot in front of us, and we thought, "Why not?" So we splurged an extra 60 euros. But here's the kicker, our friends, who happen to be a couple, snagged the same room right next door for less! We couldn't help but feel a tad disappointed.
Then, to add a dash of irony to the mix, we'd kindly asked for an early check-in. But guess what? When we rolled up to the hotel, they broke our hearts and said, "No can do." And to top it off, the message from Expedia explaining all this was in German! My main language? Good ol' English, of course.
But, hold your horses, it's not all gloom and doom! Apart from these two little hiccups, the hotel itself was spotlessly clean, the rooms were swanky, and the breakfast? Oh, it was a feast fit for royalty! So, all in all, not too shabby, I must say!
