I didn't like the fact they ask for a mandatory pre check in which includes uploading photo ID. After several attempts to upload photo ID with a failure each time. Contacted them and was advised to call on arrival at around midnight and someone would come and site ID then get key. Not allowed pin to key box and produce ID on checkout as previously done. Had to wait half hour for person to check ID after 4 hour flight and it being after midnight. Ridiculous.

Someone's old milk drink left in fridge on arrival; Shower floods the entire bathroom when used. Barely enough room to walk around bed. TV the size of a postage stamp and half the channels didn't work. Had a guy foraging for cigarette buts and begging for cigarettes outside my room. Yelling and screaming outside during the night Just overall awful, will never stay here again
