Pros and Cons
Cons- Toilet was not working properly it kept on making a really loud noise after flushing, couldn’t connect my phone to tv due to an error, they need to update the popcorn ceiling to a more modern look, blow dryer needs more power, shower pressure could use more power as well. Pros Amazing view, bed is comfortable, nice restroom, mall access through hotel, valet service is very efficient, nice bar.
