we were driving from Germany, we entered checked republic at 11:45 PM, I made my reservation at 11:52 PM, we arrived to the hotel at 1:30 am and the door was closed, we dialed 11 in the interphone many times, we called people locals to explain what the answer machine says , then we borrowed a phone from one of them to call, no one answered , then the phone transferred to a different hotel SAX , so we had to pay for new rooms, we were told that if you don't arrive by 12 AM then the room is given to someone else !!! this is the worst experience I have ever had, I will dispute the charges with my credit card company.
