Hilton Garden Inn Leshan Shizhong
Breakfast was limited not enough fresh fruit choices. Our floor had a smoker next to are room. I notified front desk and was told due to being fully booked they gave a smoker a room on a non smoking floor? This is not acceptable I hope this guest is fined for breaking the rules.
