What guests say
Available review excerpts highlight concerns about the check-in process, specifically describing it as contactless and lacking adequate human presence. The same feedback frames this as a safety or accountability issue rather than a simple preference. Broader dissatisfaction is expressed about the surrounding tourist area’s oversight and consumer protections. No recurring positive themes are present in the provided excerpts, so the review snapshot is weighted toward operational/process concerns.
