Terrible check in. 😞

Check in was terrible with front desk staff wanting to charge a 22.50 fee for early checkin. I refused to pay and waited until 3.00 pm when the front desk found me a room. Room key would not work even after TWO trips back to front desk. Finally they gave us another room on a different floor. What a run around!!
