finally a smooth one

10/10, no notes. Would do it again tomorrow and the week after. Legit the smoothest check-in I've had in ages. The Sunday red-eye was quiet and I slept the whole way through. who even am I.

Zero stars if I could

The cheap rate sounded fine untill I saw the resort fee tacked on at checkout.

Trip was a disaster

Avoid the red-eye option fr. Paid full price for a hotel that definately looked nothing like the pictures online.

Tom from their support actually picked up on the second ring and swapped my seat without charging me extra.

Easiest refund I've ever gotten and I didn't even have to ask twice. First trip with them and definately not the last.

best trip in years

They answered on a Sunday night and still got me rebooked by Monday morning. lol booked the $312 all-in deal on a whim and ended up having the best bank holiday of my life. $44 shuttle in October felt like a steal and the lobby was dead empty at check-in.

Got there, eventually.

Haruka at the desk was great, the rest of their support kind of wasn't. alot of small annoyances added up, nothing huge but by day three I was counting the hours home.

Awful trip, awful support

idk why I trusted the reviews, the room smelled like a damp basement. Haven't recieved a response in nine days. The cheap fare turned into double the charge after seat and bag fees.

Showed up alot earlier than my ride needed and they still took me in without a word. Carmen at check-in bumped us to a sea-view room for free and I still can't stop smiling about it. Honestly expected a nightmare and got a dream.

Avoid.

The clerk at check-in said the booking was voided but couldn't explain why. I booked becuase the price looked honest, then the fees doubled at the counter. I haven't seen a refund alot of weeks later and support has gone quiet.
