Shower not working well
D’une part, le valet à l’arrivée ne parlait pas français. D’autre part, la douche fonctionnait très mal. Un vrai inconvénient pour moi

Valet is a joke. 30 min in my car to have it taken care of and I have waited almost one hour to have my car back. And they were arrogant still to charge me for that service !
