I arrived very early, due to early flights. They weren't at all accommodating. I tried to explain that I spent 30+ hours in airplanes and airports, and needed rest very badly. They said they had room available but couldn't let me check in until the official check in time. I get it when they are fully booked, but that wasn't the case. If you're in the hospitality business, it's often appreciated by customers when the hotel is more welcoming and accommodating, especially a highly-rated hotel. I spent 5 hours in the lobby, waiting. Unacceptable!! I travel a lot, and in most cases when my flights arrive early, hotels don't make me wait and feed me their "policy" excuse. They just accommodate. I didn't get a warm welcome at Rixos.
