    Disliked: I bought this trip to axel hotel for my daughter as a 21st birthday gift, herself and her boyfriend. This was a gay hotel which is completely good no probs what so ever. Except when she was in the pool two men entered completely naked and got into the pool.this is not cool and should be stated. I am a booking.com regular I use all the time, nothing in the booking.com guide or reviews said that this was an openly close off hotel so to speek
