"We were very disappointed with our stay. Even though we informed the hotel in advance that it was my wife’s birthday, there was no acknowledgment at all. We didn’t expect anything extravagant, but even a simple birthday card or a handwritten “Happy Birthday” note would have been a thoughtful gesture. ..."
