Hotel Hacienda Aguacaliente
Everything about the hotel was beautiful, the only thing I have a complaint is a main staff member name Paty, she’s extremely rude to the staff and I saw her treat one of the employees as if she was a peasant. Someone needs to dismiss her because no human should treat another the way she does.
