"The staff were very friendly and helpful. We arrived several hours before check in and were unsure what we would do with our luggage but once we arrived we were informed that there was an area dedicated to luggage storage. This really helped as we were able to leave our bag while we went about our day before we could check in and have somewhere to store our bag the next day before left the city."
