Internet didn't work on 4 different services. Called for help, they sent someone up who just disconnected and reconnected repeatedly for 25 minutes as if we didn't know to do that. Eventually I told him it was getting late (12:30am) and I would try again in the morning. Then front desk called me at 1am to suggest I restart my devices, which I had already done several times. Internet never did end up working. Not worth the premium price.

The room was good, but the shower wasn't working in the morning when we got up to get ready for the day. I told the front desk person when we were checking out and he said they would look into it. It was just disappointing to not be able to get cleaned up before we left.
