As we flew in, we arrived early (about 10am) and were told we could store our luggage but to come back at 2. That first face to face was rather impersonal.. Could have made a friendlier first impression, but it was all good from our 'official' check in at 2 to our departure.
Room was not the configuration we had asked for, but they separated the beds the next day, as requested. Comfortable, free mini bar is great as is the opportunity to snack or have a drink downstairs from 1pm to 2am (free)
Bonus is that you can visit any of their 13 or so hotels around the city and use their 'snack hospitality ' as well. As we walked to so many of the points of interest, we actually tested this at one of the other hotels and were warmly welcomed. A sit down with a cold drink and a great big cookie was a great way to break the journey (or for a toilet break if you needed one)
Plug in the bath and shower needed a bit of attention, but didn't affect our stay
