mixed experience

self check-in
The self check-in was AWFUL. There wasn't anyone stationed at the desk. I had to use a screen, but it gave me a confusing message about returning within a large three-hour window. It seemed like ONE overworked staff member was trying to clean up after breakfast and help me. It was not a smooth process at all. I expected better.

The location offered convenient access to public transport I noticed. Breakfast was delicious with many choices. Staff were helpful I thought. They assisted me with directions and recommendations.
The room was small this I noticed. There was limited space for luggage I felt. Noise from nearby trams was noticeable during the night. Check in process was a little confusing at first but got sorted out.
