Residencial Douro — Hotel in Peso da Régua

Douro Residential, |I came here at work and I need a receipt to present to the company and be rekindled. |The man at the reception in the night before tried to make fool of me and two Brazilian couples by saying we didn't had the know how to open the main door, and only after being filmed he deactivate the security system so then we were able to open it. |The very next morning I had to remind him about his duty at work and asked for the receipt, he wasn't there and his colleague assured me he would leave it on the bedside table to make things easier for both ways. |He didn't let and failed me again. o|On the morning of the check-out day, a receptionist from Salgueiral's house (same business group) had to come and do his job (the guy who failed). |I almost fail my schedule because of that delay. |I left the window and blinds opened to air the room before leaving and when I arrived at night, the room wasn't tidy and the bathroom cleaned.
