For work and my birthday, I booked a trip to Italy. It was my first time in the country. 17 hours and hauling my luggage to the resort in the rain, I was so happy to arrive to the hotel. Then it all goes left.
FABIANO…the short male at the concierge desk is absolutely rude. After I was given the key to my room, I always do a security check with windows and doors especially b/c I’m a solo female traveler. The Juliette balcony door would not stay closed. I told the front desk. The maintenance man came. I didn’t feel comfortable and asked for a different room. They brought me to a room in what felt like a basement (from the window, I can see that we were below street level). I told FABIANO I didn’t like that room either. He got upset, raised his voice at me, berated me, and asked “what’s my problem?!” Keep in mind, I’ve only been there about 15 minutes at this point. I was in disbelief in how he spoke to me. I asked him why is he upset and getting loud with me. I told the manager Antonella (who is fantastic), and she asked him about his behavior and he said he never spoke to me in a raised voice or disrespectfully. He lied right in front of my face. He made my stay so uncomfortable, I would never return. I’ve never been treated so badly in all my years of traveling. Idk if he’s racist, misogynist, or just a terrible person, but if you’re a solo woman or a minority, take heed.
Aside from that, Ants greeted me my first morning. Found blonde hair all over the white sheets.
