  Comments from Utopians:

  "Karmakamet Aromatik is the worst self-proclaimed gay-friendly hotel. They actually have not trained staff to how to treat gays discreetly -- giggling when they see same sex sharing a bed, walking hand in hand. Even speaking to one of the owners, Wilson, he acted weird talking to us. We felt so cheated to stay there." -- Jerry6548, Nov 26, 2009
