Absolute chaos at check in, keys not working after queuing for half an hour to get them, half the hotel shut off and fences blocking communal areas, reception tried to charge us for our pre paid room, no cups or kettle or any facilities in the room. Pretty poor overall. The staff were trying their best amongst the chaos.
