A slow check-in3 of 2151 in 72 reviews
The only downside, for which I took off one star, was the service: they refused my early check-in, even though the hotel was half empty.
Google, September 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
We would have appreciated if there was an early check in option since our flight landed 6:00am and we had to check in into an expensive room because we wanted to relax after 17 hours flight.
