Disliked: Check-in
Its a lot of effort to check-in and go through all the steps they need to be able to do the setup for self check-in. Also, they have sensors in the property, and if you are sitting and just having normal conversations or eating or something at 2 AM, you start getting annoying messages every few mins, threatening to fine you $500. Also there is so many extra difficulties because they keep complaining about doing the booking through Expedia instead of directly through them. I am probably avoiding them in future.
