In my booking it says free breakfast. When I was checking out, the lady receptionist is charging me for the breakfast. I told her and showed her my booking. She said it was a mistake and to call hotels.com. I told her I am going to report her and will make a review. I gave her my credit card but since I told her I will report her she shoves away my card and so I left. She is scamming me.

The room is great but the neighbourhood is quite noisy. There was nobody at the reception, we had to knock the door of the staff who lives there.
