1BR Condotel with Balcony at FAME Residences #FM41

There really is nothing to write about liking here. From the initial booking to the actual stay, the experience was fraught with problems.

After booking the place, I tried for several days to contact the host. Messages sent on both WhatsApp and Booking.com along with attempted phone calls went unanswered. It wasn’t until I contacted Booking.com directly to complain just hours before our stay that the host began responding. As to the residence itself, not one thought was given to make for a comfortable stay. Pictures of the place show a stove with two burners. It had been disabled and rules sent stating, “NO COOKING”. The electric kettle and toaster oven were both cheap and old. There was not even a dish towel or dish rag supplied to dry dishes. There were no complimentary things that any good host would have supplied such as coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, etc. Even though there was no mention of a washing machine in the place, the host thought it was okay to place one in the bathroom that had been taped shut with a message on it saying, “DO NOT TOUCH “! It took up about a fifth of the size of the small bathroom. There were no plastic liners in either the kitchen or bathroom wastebaskets. I guess that guests are expected to supply their own. As far as cutlery in the kitchen, there weren’t even butter knives for spreading butter or jelly on bread. Throwing a few pictures on the wall does not make up for ignoring the essential things a guest needs to have a comfortable stay.
