Although I know you can pay for an early check in, we were there at 2.40 and were told our room wasn’t ready so had to Sit in reception and wait …..it was miraculously ready at almost 3pm on dot! Thought that was a bit petty making us wait Then on the second day we went out for day at 10am and didn’t get back till 3pm as wanted to freshen up before going out again to eat - no sooner had we got in our room than the maid knocked and asked if she could clean /refresh so we declined. I don’t understand why this was done that late in day The hotel was comfortable and breakfast ok
