Question Arrive To ???
The following is a comment by a hotel guest. Now would the expression "arrive to" be ever used?

My two friends and I stayed here for 6 nights in NOV. '05 and we had some pretty bad experiences. We arrived to the hotel at 3am after a night out and all of our key cards were cancelled and when we went to the desk we were treated as if we were criminals.

THANKS

Salaam,

The appropriate usage according to me should be 'arrived at' not 'to'.

Normally, it's "arrive at" (we arrived at the hotel) or "arrive in" (we arrived in Los Angeles).
