missing remoteabsent water
i must express my disappointment with the lack of attention to detail. the television remote was missing from my meliá room ria view and i had to request it from the front desk. also, the promised complimentary water was absent, a small detail i find essential in a hotel of this supposed caliber. i found these oversights impacted my stay negatively. the staff did eventually provide a remote, but the initial lack of water seemed like cost cutting.
