Radisson Blu Hotel Tashkent

I had ordered during check-in a hotel taxi to take me to the airport at 1.30 am. When I presented myself to the counter to check out, I was asked to pay the taxi in cash, which I did not have because I usually include it in my bill so I can pay it with my credit card. The ATM machine in the hotel takes VISA only, and I had Mastercard, so could not withdraw any cash. Staff indicated that i could pay the hotel taxi with my Master card but it would cost me 35 USD, which was 3 times the initial proposed rate. The worst was that the taxi was a normal street taxi, and not a proper hotel taxi. When I asked the staff about it, they said that it was already paid for, even though I had paid them 3 times the normal fare. I could not understand why the staff had not booked me a proper hotel taxi anyway since the beginning! And finally, I had to take the available taxi as I had started to be late and the driver wanted to drop me outside the airport's main gate!!!! I guess he did not to waste time going through the security gate! Which of course I did not accept. When I asked him to go inside, he mumbled something which obviously could not understand but I could guess.
