We had a request for a wake-up call which didn’t happen. Got a second call to the room about transit to the airport and told the clerk we are on the way down. We arrived 1 minute after the departure time and bus was gone. We asked the clerk now what and he just shrugged his shoulders. This was bitter everyone else was great.
