Someone else was sleeping on my bed so I don’t even get bed to sleep … lucky I was there for just few hours

My booking was not showing in the machine as no one was at reception so I had to pay again on machine and they refused to refund double booking charges ….

I felt comfortable for what I paid for, believe me it felt good and I was amused by the self check in
