Arrived at the Hotel, No Porter to help with Bags, carried them in and still no porter, left Bags at reception, where they sat for at least 10 Minutes before someone attended to them, Sarah on reception was polite and took our details, however the Indian Supervisor on the desk and another from India, really need a check up from the neck up, neither look very happy, dont smile to the guests, and when all the staff walk around, none of them say hello or greet their guests. - in January 10
