Bad Electricity

Our room was great until no in room phone charger worked and when we unplugged the alarm clock from wall to plug in our own phone charger we lost complete power to our room. Hotel had no other rooms available for us to move. We went to dinner and they could only fix half the room’s electricity. The next day we were able to change rooms but not until almost 3pm.

Property was ok. On the surface it seemed like a nice place. Housekeeping would not change out our toilet paper or tissues for some reason & we ended up getting those ourselves. Awkward sinks with the faucet in the wrong place. Shower head had very little pressure. No real happy hour, just slightly lower priced drinks that were already over priced. Not what I expected from a higher end hotel!
