Elevators need URGENT review!!! It's a safety issue

The elevators need URGENT review!!! It's a safety issue, one of them closes on top of people, it even hurt an elderly lady and almost closed on me, it has no sensor, and it's making noise

There was an elevator that shook so much that it seemed like it would fall.

Horrible elevators left us stuck inside multiple times, moldy rooms, bad food.

The elevator seems like a horror movie set. If Warner Brothers needs some location for scenography, it's more than indicated. Say your prayer before using, as your safety is at risk every time you enter the elevator.

The elevator looks like it's going to fall at any moment.

Credit Card Fraud
critical
Mentioned 1 time, last 2 years ago
Credit card data was stolen and $318 in charges were made online in Brazil sites

I RECOMMEND USERS NOT TO GIVE THEIR CREDIT CARD DATA TO MAKE THE RESERVATION!!!! Unfortunately my card data was stolen and expenses were made for a value of 318 dollars from my card, the expenses were made online on Brazil sites. I know it was theft because it was a card that I didn't even take with me on my trip and it was the only site where I used it.
