well maintained facilities professional service organized event small room extra charges unreasonable fee

i appreciated the well maintained facilities. the service was very professional and the event i attended was perfectly organized. vanesa and elias.

i think the rooms are too small considering the cost. i noticed they charge extra for many things. paying extra for the steam room and sauna seems unreasonable given the room rate.
