10/10 Excellent
"Reception normally shuts at 7:30PM and I missed the fine print when making my booking. They were kind enough to make themselves available for me to check in at roughly 9PM as my flight didn’t land until 8:30PM. This was a great relief as I was attending a funeral the following day."
