Everything digital in rooms

Slow check in
Some guests feel that the check in lasts too long, noting that the front desk staff is often slow and long lines are common. Others report that the whole check in procedure is too complicated.

No place to sit for breakfast
Some guests report that while the breakfast in the hotel is good and there is plenty to choose from, there are often no free tables available and guests need to wait before being served.
