Customer service is terrible. Paid for dinner at the hotel and could not get service. 5 tables in the entire restaurant, 3-4 servers working , a bus boy and a bartender. Had to walk around and find a server to get drinks. This is a really low end buffet and even with it being a buffet the people were more worried about being on their phones and talking among themselves. Tried to change currency at the dsk and they charged a really high fee. It was about 12%. Room was clean but not very nice. We stayed at 3 Vila Gale hotels on this trip and they all charged differently, one added a 10% addition “service fee” at checkout. They said it was to recoup the 10% Expedia charged them for making the booking. Avoid Vile Gale properties!
