Forfærdelig oplevelse. Gå uden om dette hotel!

Vi havde forventet at ankomme til et 5 stjernet hotel. Receptionen var lukket og vi måtte gå til nabohotellet "Minos 4*". Her blev vi oplyst at der var sket en fejl, og vores hotel var lukket for sæsonen. Vi blev tilbudt en junior suite på "Minos 4*". Hotellet var slidt og det var slet ikke som man ville forvente af et 4*-hotel. Junior suiten var et dårligt bytte. Møblerne var slidte og morgenmaden var kedelig, som man ville forvente på et 2* hotel.
Stikkontakt var ved at falde ud af væggen.
Møbler slidte og ødelagt af vand.
Virkelig dårlig salat ved morgenmaden.
