Extremely disappointed that bad advice from the staff regarding buses resulted in me missing a flight. Out of town travelers really depend on recommendations from hotel staff being well-informed and accurate, especially when travel plans depend on them.

Apparently you should be a bit careful in the corner when you come home at night, it was said to me by locals. However, I often went back to the hotel at night and nothing ever happened.
