Well, I selected Alluring View because I needed a hotel that was near the airport so I could validate my visa. I was told I would have an airport pickup at $5US and would be spared the jackals at the airport. From the time I left US I reminded them that I was on my way, even through two transfers. Finally outside in 90 degree heat, I find no one there nor coming. No one but all the taxi drivers, guys from the airport and street kids all trying to get money. Finally after paying 3 times the fare, I made it to the hotel on my own. It seems like Alluring View employees are more interested in getting money than providing a service and being compensated. Two examples: I was sick, had a late flight out and could have used a late two hour checkout. I was willing to pay extra. Half a day? I got out on schedule. I had ordered their shuttle to the airport and when my conversion rate was faulty, the desk clerk was willing to take 4 times the normal fare before I caught the mistake. I waited around for an hour after checkout even though their shuttle was ordered a day before. And even though I had over-tipped everyone willingly, their cook, Favor, not only tried to keep my change but knowingly shorted my order to go after I asked her if all was inside. Nothing substitute for professional. Travelers, protect your resources.
