Cons:

Being asked to pay before check-in. While this is not an issue itself. However, it would be helpful if guests were informed by email before arrival so they can prepare for this payment during check in.

I made a reservation for myself and a guest, who arrived at the hotel before me while I was about to fly from Abuja. He was unfortunately delayed at the reception because he was asked to pay before checking in. I was forced to transfer the payment while at the airport. I wondered what would have happened if I was unreachable. I originally made the booking from the UK through booking.com and I had expected to pay during check out. I am happy to pay at check-in but I would have been very helpful if I had been informed by the hotel of this policy.
