The property was good. Our phone never worked in our suite. It wouldn’t be a problem until I needed to reach out about a room service I had placed at the bar earlier and was taking longer than expected. We didn’t get our order until 40 mins later and my phone never got even looked at after reporting it. Other than that, everything was good. Just wished they had put more than 2 large towels.
Condition of my phone during my stay.
