"There was no iron available if you need. Thos was the first time I stay in a hotel with no iron in the room. The lady at the reception was not helpful. When we asked for iron, she said there is no one and that she qas sorry. However when I asked to talk to her manager, she finally double checked and the manager offered to bring to us a steam vertical iron . Everything was petfect except this incident."
