Akyaka Spa Hotel

"I have to say this was one of the strangest hotel stays I’ve ever had. When I arrived, the lobby TV was on and there were half-empty water bottles casually left around. The reception desk was unattended, but there was a room key sitting there along with a piece of paper containing my personal information—my name, phone number, etc. I later realized it was a registration form. I called the contact number and a man answered. He said he had stepped out and told me to just take the key he had left for me. I carried my luggage upstairs myself because the elevator starts from the second floor and my room was on the first. I went out for a while and came back later, but there was still nobody there. At one point I needed another blanket, so I checked several other rooms until I finally found one. The whole time I never saw a single person in the hotel. It honestly felt like walking into a hotel after a zombie apocalypse—everything was there, but no one was around. In the morning, I finally saw someone: a woman who had come in to clean. She told me the manager was outside in his car. I went out and met him. He seemed like a nice man, but a bit confused. I said goodbye and left the hotel. To be honest, there were a few other strange things too, but these were the highlights."
