Well, yesterday was a very interesting day.
I met a lovely german couple. Who actually spoke to me!! Once I recovered from that shock, it was all systems go. They told me about the 'superior' rooms. Apparently there are at least 2 classes of superior rooms. Go figure.
So, I went and did a very polite dummy spit, said, my husband if very unhappy, and asked to see a new room.
They asked another $15 a night, no way, so we agreed on $10. That makes my 'budget hotel", a cost now of $55US a night. But, I suppose that this is the new bali prices, and we're going to get used to it!
The new room is honestly 2 1/2 times the size of the old. The fridge actually works properly. BUT, the room I moved into had a broken aircon. They actually knew this, when they told me to shift, as the nice German couple had only moved out a couple of days before.
WHY would you put someone in a room with a totally kaput aircon? Surely you would expect them to complain?Particularly, if you knew they were already not happy?
Anyway, we then moved AGAIN, but only to next door, which was fine!
The staff, must have now caught on, and are now speaking to us. IT's amazing just how much difference a few good mornings ( in any language)make to how you feel!!
We actually had people speak to us this morning, and met a nice Aussie couple, and honestly, it's made so much difference to how we feel.
IF I ran that hotel, the first thing I would do would be to smash their tv.The staff that are there appear to do nothing apart from watching the tv. The second the replace the staff with friendly ones. That's all you would need. It could be perfect!!
Again, PLEASE don't flame me, as I have tried to hard to be totally fair, and all I can do is tell you my experiences.
