"The room was clean, and the breakfast was excellent. My only complaint is when we first got there, I walked in the door to check in and there’s an autonomous screen welcoming me. I could not understand what they were saying and when I go to check into a hotel, I want to talk to a real person, not somebody on the screen! It’s very cold and impersonal!"
