the wifi was so slow. i actually had to pay extra for faster service, pretty cheap. i expect high-speed internet when i'm paying this much, not dial-up speeds.

A Dreamy Interlude

The Suite offered CENTRAL lighting controls, so every setting was simple. Lighted mirrors inside the closet door also added thoughtful convenience. i enjoyed having a great cocktail bar on the premises with plenty of indoor seating.

The heat wasnt working, it was 60 degrees for the majority of my stay. I did not like the poor temperature control.
