I don't like that they make you and all your guests scan your passport in to check in. Best part of our room was that we had a back entrance that led to parking. We were in room 25. At first glance the to appeared clean but the covers on the beds had remnants from the previous guests like hair and lint.

Leith2 nights7.8/10 - Good (310 reviews)"The self check-in was really easy. However, I did not see any employee dying my stay. For the cleanliness of the room, the floor was kind of dirty. I could see crumbs that weren’t mine, which is pretty disgusting. Plus, my bed was not made well at all, it looks like it was done in a hurry. On the positive side, it was very calm and I slept well.
