Issues at check-in

Issues at check-in when they discovered that they had checked someone in with the same name as me earlier in the day but only had one reservation in my name and had therefore given away my room. They hadn't asked for any kind of evidence of the booking confirmation or email with which the reservation was made which would have avoided the issue - they just accepted the name as the booking confirmation. Fortunately they still had a room available so we weren't turned away.

The room was nice and comfortable & the staff were friendly. The only niggles we had was there was a very long queue for check in (I’m not sure what the problem was but once it started moving it went quickly and the person who checked me in apologised for the wait) and with there only being 3 lifts for the 16 floors getting down for breakfast and then to check out took ages
