I
took
a
taxi
and
went
to
Aydinoglu
hotel
in
Idealtepe,
Istanbul.
I
had
called
prior
arriving
and
I
had
been
told
that
I
can
come.
My
main
activity
was
to
swim.
Upon
arriving
,
at
the
reception
,
one
lady
told
me
that
“
I
can
swim
because
I
didn’t
bring
a
lady
“
I
was
so
surprised
😮
why
I
needed
a
to
bring
a
lady
to
swim.
I
asked
her
to
explain
because
I
was
surprised.
A
lady
called
Burcu
was
rude
enough
interject.
Then
I
kept
quite
and
asked
a
Turkish
friend
to
talk
to
them
.
Funny
enough
Burcu
continued
to
be
rude.
They
didn’t
even
try
to
help,
their
emphasis
was
not
getting
us
in
.
In
the
hospitality
industry
this
is
the
first
when
I
saw
a
hotel
treating
clients
like
this.
It’s
even
weird
,
Ataturk
helped
emancipate
woman
in
Turkey
,
and
for
a
hotel
to
tell
me
bring
a
woman
to
swim.
In
addition,
the
courtesy
of
the
receptionist
was
not
there.
I
have
worked
for
a
The
Ritz
Carlton
myself
and
I
know.
I
don’t
know
🤷🏾♂️
what
was
their
problem
really
,
I
only
saw
us
being
rejected
the
time
I
waited
there,
could
it
be
the
case
that
I
am
African
.i
just
wonder.
In
short
,
how
did
that
hotel
get
a
5
star
rating.
With
that
bad
experience
I
don’t
recommend
anyone
to
go
that
hotel
,
there
was
no
one
who
spoke
English
or
French
.....
I
DONT
RECOMMEND
