The room type you had booked did not have a Kitchen if you had chosen the Kitchen Studios there would have been a separate Kitchen with the sink and cooking equipment more to your liking.

No human contact even though we called the day before and told we could drop a bag before checkin. Which we said we would be there at 11:30am no one was there the sign said open 8 til 8. Then when our card was incorrect they rang and told us they were going to give our room away. We gave them a new number over the phone. Then they left the room open for us. No human contact

Hi Ross ,we are sorry to receive your review of this nature .However we did wait for some time for you to arrive early as you had mentioned. We as Hoteliers have the right to take payment 48hrs prior to your arrival ,as we discussed over the phone you had no idea what time you would be coming back,so we did what we could for you and took the opportunity and said we would set your room up prior to your arrival . Office hours are from 8am until 8pm that is correct ,and you did call us , however the standard checkin time is still 2pm ,but we did try to accommodate you the best we could by leaving your room unlocked as you were not sure what time you may be back. We were open when your arrived which you would have noted the office light was on so hence you were more than welcome to pop in if needed. We are also had to go out between cleans and re-opening time which as Hotieliers we take that opportunity when we can.
