There was no hot water in the room, and the bathroom drainage was very poor, making it easy for the shower to flood.

It is humid because it is in the basement, and while the air conditioner works at first, it doesn't function well in the evening.

A slow check-in4 of 2941 in 74 reviews
their check-in time is about 3 pm, but my flight landed at 1 or 2, i emailed them and asked for an early check in but its not allowed (you can leave your suitcase here instead).
Google, February 2026, rated 5/5 by this guest
However, I checked in at 3:30 PM, even though check-in is at 3:00 PM, but the room wasn't cleaned in time, so I had to wait for over an hour.
