After zero sleep on JFK to Madrid flight, I stopped by AC Hotel Los Vacos where my husband was checking out at noon. I arrived a the hotel around 8:45 AM, and a front desk staff kindly led me to the cafe area where my husband was having breakfast. My husband asked me if I wanted to get breakfast, but I said no because I was so exhausted and had no appetite. There was coffee & tea and some juice in a separate section from the cafe. I thought It was for the hotel guest. When I was pouring myself a tea and OJ, a wait staff stood behind me and used a very stern tone, "What's your room number", I did not know my husband's room number, and I said, "could you ask my husband?" She got a room number from my husband, and nothing was explained. We went to his room, and I passed out for 2 hours. Just before noon, we went to the front desk to check out and asked about an extra 5 euros charge. He said my husband paid for his room and breakfast, but the cafe staff charged him 5 euros for the tea I had in the paper cup. I said, "It's okay to charge for the drink, but I would have liked it to be explained instead of treated like a thrive and just charged 5 euros. The front staff said, "Okay, taking out 5 euros charge, but the wait staff doesn't speak English, and if the person doesn't speak a language, the communication can be crude." "Do you speak Spanish?" I said, "poco" and he said, "See, 'poco' is not the way how we reply." There you have it. If you like your hotel staff to treat you like a thief and criticize your poor Spanish, this is a hotel for you. I was looking forward to my first overseas trip after the pandemic; what a disappointing start to my experience in Spain. What a welcome...
