The device could record and store sound and image, media reported adding that the discovery was made when the couple stayed in the hotel at the end of September.
It is worth noting that the young woman, was working as a waitress at the bar of the hotel owner who had offered her and her boy friend free accommodation for her good services during the summer months, as the 25-year-old woman reportedly denounced.
