no a/c at a 5 star hotel?!?
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/29/06
on an 80 degree october day, the explanation for my hot hot room was "it is winter so we have turned off a/c in building. it will get cooler later."
as the night went on and the room did not get cooler, we called the desk again...after much pleading, we finally were visited by a manager who agreed it was hot and told us to leave the door open.not the best advice, security wise, and kids were shreiking and running on the terrace restuarant, under our window until 11pm. there was a jumping (and thumping) disco just outside, as well.
the manager said the noise was not his problem. i could either close the door and swelter or leave the doors open and "enjoy" the noise. the disco finally closed at 4 a.m. i was touring turkey and visiting nearby sites, my hotel rooms were prepaid, so i really had no option of another hotel.
also, korumar ads say wireless internet access thruout the hotel, but there was only limited, low signal, occasional access in the main lobby.
beautiful view, clean rooms, acceptable food...but too hot and noisy to sleep and no one cared enough to help. unlike othere hotels and restuarants on my turkey itinerary, neither the desk staff nor restaurant staff were courteous or helpful.
i will not stay here again and have shared this info with my travel agent.
