Alison and Christian play a big part in the downfall of the hotel. She has no idea what working is all about, always negative, always criticising, and absolutely not acknowledging she is just a very simple employee. Christian gives me the feeling he is corrupted one way or another and steals hours per day by smoking, crying and complaining. He has no clue about giving service and is one of those employees who should be fired on the spot.

Like just simply book to stay in a half decent hotel that does online bookings and go out in the evening to a pub or something and make your own entertainment. The fact that this many modern families would pay to stay at a hotel where you have to phone to book a room and then discover there's no wifi makes you wonder how hard up these people must be lol.
