Certainly,
here's
the
proofread
and
spell-checked
version:
---
Bell
Swiss
Hotel
Pondok
Indah
My
husband,
myself,
and
our
four
children
stayed
here
on
New
Year's
Eve.
We
experienced
both
positives
and,
unfortunately,
some
annoying
negatives.
**Positives:**
-
Check-in
staff
member
(Arian,
I
think
his
name
was)
granted
us
an
extended
2pm
late
check-out
due
to
our
room
not
being
ready
until
3:30pm.
-
The
booking
price
included
NYE
dinner
and
a
buffet
breakfast.
The
official
website
stated
that
children
stay
and
eat
for
free.
-
The
food
choices
were
great,
with
lots
of
Western
options
and
a
fantastic
selection
of
sushi.
**Negatives:**
-
We
had
to
wait
in
the
lobby
area
for
1.5
hours
as
our
room
was
not
ready.
There
was
no
comfortable
rest/lounge
area
to
wait,
especially
with
four
tired
and
irritable
children.
-
Encountered
a
very
rude
staff
lady
in
charge
of
booking
guests
for
the
NYE
dinner
celebration.
We
had
a
prolonged
and
annoying
heated
conversation
as
she
tried
to
charge
my
husband
and
me
an
extra
$300,000.00
per
person
to
attend
the
dinner,
despite
it
being
advertised
on
the
hotel's
official
website
and
included
in
my
booking
receipt.
After
confirming
with
our
check-in
staff
member
that
dinner
was
included,
she
then
attempted
to
charge
us
an
extra
$300,000.00
for
each
of
our
four
children.
We
had
to
explain
that
the
website
stated
"children
eat
free."
After
another
prolonged
discussion,
it
was
confirmed
that
we
did
not
have
to
pay
for
all
of
our
children
to
attend
the
dinner.
However,
we
did
have
to
pay
$390,000.00
for
my
12-year-old
to
attend
the
dinner,
which
we
were
happy
to
do.
The
overall
ordeal
of
dealing
with
such
a
rude
staff
member
negatively
impacted
my
stay.
-
At
the
breakfast
buffet,
the
check-in
staff
lady
tried
to
charge
me
$100,000.00
per
child
for
my
two
youngest
children,
both
under
3
years
old.
I
had
to
point
out
that
the
hotel's
official
website
states
that
children
under
3
eat
for
free
at
the
breakfast
buffet.
I
find
it
highly
offensive
that
hotel
staff
try
to
find
ways
to
charge
guests
extra
for
services
that
are
inclusive.
-
In
the
hotel
room,
the
dental
kit
and
other
amenities
were
empty.
I
opened
the
dental
kit
to
find
it
empty.
-
Noticed
mold
in
the
bathroom.
-
Found
a
dirty/stained
sofa
in
the
room.
I
paid
$3,270,415.00
for
a
one-night
stay
in
a
2-bedroom
suite.
Based
on
the
negative
interactions
with
staff,
I
would
NOT
recommend
staying
here.
The
lack
of
customer
care
and
the
rudeness
of
the
food
and
beverage
booking
hosts
are
definitely
not
worth
the
hassle.
A
word
of
warning:
if
you
are
a
foreigner,
make
sure
to
double-check
the
hotel
website
for
all
inclusions
and
stand
your
ground
when
staff
try
to
intimidate
you
into
paying
extra.
