Instead of a conclusion

For some reason not a single Frenchman complained about the limited buffet, not a single Pole ached that he needed to climb the stairs to the second building. Obviously, from the point of view of their upbringing, it is simply indecent to say this with delicious food, with excellent service. Indeed, in most reviews it is noted that both the staff and the hotel cooks are smart.
However, some of our compatriots (far from all, 10 percent), having talked about the merits, still cannot but be smart. Maybe their house is cooler and more hospitable? But they still fly to a European resort and will continue to fly. It’s strange all the same.
