We checked in late, arrived to our room and there was somebody else’s suitcase and backpack there. Receptionist quickly moved us to a different room of the same class. Not a big deal, but really last thing I want to be doing late at night.

great spot for one night stay.
Grateful that we were given a larger room.
Pillows were a bit too 'full'.
