"Pretty techy- can check-in/out without interacting with any staff. You can even open the front door and door to your room with their app. The only thing that I think they can improve on is having an outlet at each bed. Having an outlet inside the locker is nice and all but I would like to have easy access to my phone when I go to bed and when I wake up."

"We were surprised to see guests with dogs! We didn't realise there were such hotels available for pet owners! We guess, hopefully, there are special rooms set aside for these guests!! It didn't impact on our visit in any way, which was very enjoyable. Only problem was our phone was not connected to Reception when we needed it to be."
