Booked two rooms for me and a buddy. He got there first and checked him in however they had already booked someone else in the room. Head to find a new one. Then our rooms weren’t next to each other. Granted I got an upgrade. However no cables or remotes for the tv. So it didn’t work. When they brought a cable only came on for 2 minutes then didn’t work for the rest of our stay. Was lucky we were heading out most of the time.

We arrived about 7 in the morning and asked if we could leave bags there. Can't check in til 3pm. The receptionist was amazing he checked to see if room was ready and allowed us to take our bags to the room, freshen up after 27 hrs flight and even gave us recommendations for breakfast. We will definitely stay here again when visiting our family. Well done everyone for your excellent service.
