I had high hopes for my stay at Grand Hotel Majestic, given its beautiful accommodations and historical charm. However, my experience was marred by poor customer service when my reservation was inexplicably altered, leading to a stressful and unsettling journey. Despite the hotel’s stunning location and my overall appreciation for its ambiance, the service experience left a sour taste.
