I did the express check in online to save time but still ended up spending 30 minutes at the desk checking in. Long check ins are a nuisance for me on a good day and that day definitely wasn't a good day.
Do the rooms come with hot water? Do I need to pay extra for hot water? Either way, there was no hot water in the shower, which was unfortunate.
On the plus side, the room was clean and warm, which was very appreciated, especially because i didn't get the chance to have a hot shower. The bed and pillows are very comfortable, also appreciated.
All in all, it wasn't a terrible experience, just not a great one either.
