Had some issues with my room. The safe was left locked and no one was on duty to unlock it. The phone in the room didn’t work so I could not call the front desk. The shower head was loose and sprayed water all over the ceiling and floor. I managed to tighten it by hand and use the shower. Not very good attention to detail for a hotel room costing mid three hundred $ for the night!
