I heard a fine of 500 dollars. But I did not mind because I am not getting married.
When I got to the hotel ... ... Well, I was surprised!
The manager of the hotel said, "You can have anything to drink in the refrigerator" (as I saw it was like a drink left by the previous guest).
Bet make-up was funny, and the hair was left everywhere in the washroom. I felt uncomfortable but accepted over it. Because everything maid says "I surely cleaned up" and says that she will shave my hair instead.
The manager said that they charged me an additional fee as they charged everyone.
As a result of the suggestion, while the maid shaved our hair, someone drank blueberry frozen ice which was left in the refrigerator.
The manager agreed. Maid also agreed. My dog ​​also agreed. I agree with a bride who can not return the deposit.
The possibility of coming again to get hair shaved is 2/10
