9/10 Wonderful! (1,010 reviews)

First time I stayed at a no-reception hotel. I liked that my room was close to the elevator and right next to the common fridge/cooler. The blonde younger girl at the restaurant who was by herself during breakfast rudely yelled at me “NO!” when I approached the breakfast area thinking it wasn’t 7 AM yet (it was 7:02 on my watch). When she realized she was wrong she laughed to herself but didn’t apologize. Appreciate the no-fee hotel parking.
