中途半端なサービス。ホテルそのものは悪くない。

仕事で４泊しました。部屋はプレミアムフロアーの部屋とかで、広さもそこそこあり掃除も行き届いており快適でした。問題が２つありました（１）部屋に電話機はあるのにホテルの外（市内／市外電話）へ一切つながない、日本の電話会社へのアクセス（即ち、１－８００電話＝ホテルへの電話代請求なし）でさえ繋ぐのを断られました。この傾向は最近他のホテルでもよくありますが、我々お客への利便性の向上には全く資していない事をホテルとしては理解したがよいのでは？（２）朝のレストランの食事が毎日殆ど冷たい状態でした。サービスする気がないのなら食事の提供そのものを止められては？なぜなら無料ではない訳ですから。中途半端なサービスはない方が良いと思います。

Old Hotel with Good Condition

I've been told that Hotel Marco Polo is one of the oldest hotel in town, almost 30 years old. But its condition is still quite good. The bed was comfortable. But as an old hotel, there was some broken facilities, i.e. the bathub. And the maintenance staff rushed to fixed it. The breakfast was delicious, but not much options. The WiFi was terrible. I stayed at level 4, and I only could get the WiFi from level 5. Most of the time, I couldn't connect to internet because of the bad reception. I have to go to the lobby only to send an email.
