outdated hotelpassport picture
The staff insisted on photographing my passport. I was not informed about this policy beforehand. It seemed like pressure. I did not like that, especially since governments discourage this due to identity fraud. The hotel seemed outdated to me. I think the hotel needs some updates, especially given the nightly price.
