The waiting is the hardest part
We keep staying here and keep encountering the same issue: The check in line is always HUGE!! Not inconveniently huge but crazy huge. At least 50 people. I’ve never encountered anything close to this anywhere else. We dropped off our luggage, went out and checked in when we got back. Other than that it’s a good hotel. They’ve compartmentalized the lobby too much but now I’m just complaining
