Hotel manager on checking was very dismissive and rude, on check in when I told him about our last stay and how unsatisfactory it was , on our lsst stay we stayed in a suite, the suite was below standard of your current standard rooms, the manager did not care about my complaint when somebody was meant to contact me after our last visit I don't think I will stay at this hotel ever again
