unreliable wifi disappointing view
The supposed 'free' wifi was a joke. It cut out constantly. i spent half my time reconnecting. also, the promised city views from my room? more like a view of the neighboring building's air conditioning units. i suppose that's technically part of the city.. but hardly inspiring. i swear the elevators must have been designed by someone who enjoys watching people suffer. The wait times were atrocious and they seemed to operate on their own bizarre schedule.
