Great stay and great location
Liked: Big rooms with good equipment including a kitchen, comfortable bed, good internet, great location near the river with bus stations nearby. We felt very well there.
Disliked: The breakfast is very limited and for take-away only (mainly sweet snacks), however the fresh coffee is very good. Beverage vendor machine is a bit expensive.

Mediocre
Disliked: Paid for 2 beds but was given a room with only 1. Was told that I would receive a 20% refund because of this, but still haven't gotten it. Showers were also cold.

Unacceptable: Staff Discarded Belongings After...
Liked: Here is what unfolded: We saw a guest arrange to leave a bag briefly with hotel staff while fetching luggage nearby. It seemed he wasn't met with grace; rather, his appearance apparently provoked suspicion. He was treated, it appeared, as someone unworthy – perhaps perceived as homeless – and this judgment seemed to become the justification for subsequent actions. Upon returning minutes later, he found the staff member had discarded his bag in an outside dumpster, forcing him to retrieve his belongings from the trash. The situation remained unaddressed by staff.Witnessing this sequence – the judgment based on appearance leading to punitive action – starkly illustrates the ego's mechanics. It judges the surface, the form, creating categories of 'worthy' and 'unworthy' based on illusions. This perceived 'unworthiness' is then used to justify attack, reinforcing the belief in separation and specialness ('I am better/different than them')."A Course in Love" directs us to see this differently for true healing. The error here isn't just the physical act of discarding belongings, but the preceding judgment based on appearance. Both the judgment and the resulting action stem from fear and the core illusion of separation from Love.Forgiveness, therefore, extends to the whole sequence. It involves the willingness to look past the appearance that was judged, and the judgment itself, and the harsh action. It's recognizing all of it as an expression of fear, a mistaken call for the very Love and acceptance that was withheld. It requires releasing condemnation within our own minds for everyone involved.Our shared reality as expressions of Love remains untouched by judgments of appearance or circumstance. By consciously choosing to remember this shared Identity, and meeting the witnessed prejudice and action with internal understanding rather than counter-attack, we withdraw energy from the ego's cycle.
