APA Hotel & Resort Osaka Namba Ekimae Tower
Not welcoming staff. Sadly a female staff who stands by the check in machine wasn’t helpful at all, she didn’t let me go to the counter either. It would be nicer to see someone with welcoming attitude when we arrive in the hotel. It’s was my first time using this hotel, of course I don’t know what ...
