Necesita mejorar

Casi en todos en mis viajes a Tijuana (placer o negocios) había elegido este hotel por su ubicación y que incluía lo necesario para una estancia cómoda y segura. En esta ocasión, a pesar que sólo fue 1 noche, me encontré con un hotel muy saturado con muchas personas en los alrededores y no se veían particularmente como clientes habituales. Referente a la habitación, el sistema de A/Ac hacía demasiado ruido (no lo normal para un sistema minisplit). En los pasillos y demás del hotel se escucharon también muchos ruidos durante toda la noche. El Wifi bastante inestable con desconexiones constantes y el desagüe de la regadera del baño estaba tapada; por lo que se volvió un estanque que poco a poco fue drenando.

The man at desk was hrlpful and checked us in half hour before check in time. The cleaning lady was extremely rude and they only gave us 2 towels instead of 3. Which we were 3 in our party. She asked you guys need more towels in a very rude way. No towels to dry our hands, no washcloths, no bucket for ice. All bad.

Reserve por el servicio de transporte al aeropuerto, se lo indique al recepcionista al registrarme, no me anoto en su libreta, regrese a confirmar y para entonces ya tenia mas gente antes de mi, al siguiente dia, el chofer no llegaba, le pregunte y su respuesta fue que a veces tenian el servicio y a veces no, termine llendome por mi cuenta al aeropuerto, mi vuelo era temprano, el transporte llego pero yo ya estaba con el otro transporte, no podia arriesgar no estar a tiempo para mi vuelo eramos 4 personas

On my second day, the Hotel did not have any towels for the bathroom. I complained to front desk and then to the cleaning people and management, and they apologized but said the Hotel sent all towels for cleaning and mis calculated. On my second day, I had to use my bed sheet and toilet paper to dry myself after the shower. This is not acceptable and I believe I should be reimbursed for that second night. First time in my life that I stay at a hotel that has no towels for the bathroom. Absolutely upset and Expedia should stay behind and reimburse me for the second night. The people at the hotel are aware of my complaint
