TV didn’t work. We had a 3 night stay. I contacted the front desk and they did some trouble shooting with me. Nothing worked. A maintenance person was supposed to fix it the second day. Never happened. Called down to front desk again and we tried a few other unsuccessful things. We were never offered to move rooms.
