We arrived a bit after checkout time (about 30 minutes to an hour). We had notified ahead of time, and they said that it would be fine. What we found when we arrived is that both reception and the person in charge of the kitchen were waiting for us past hours. Reception checked us in, while being super kind and understanding. We had arrived about 2 minutes after the kitchen was closed, but the person in charge of the kitchen allowed us to settle in a minute, and ushered us to the restaurant area and made sure we could still get food. Super kind and understanding from the people who are handling the day to day, and after a difficult drive, super appreciated.
