Mixed feelings about my stay

frozen ipadsmall room

The iPad controls EVERYTHING in the room, and it froze several times. I had to call for assistance EACH time. A broken iPad meant I could not adjust the lights. I could not control the temperature or watch television. It was frustrating. the room was small, and there wasn't much space for luggage. This cramped feel, combined with the tech issues, really impacted my experience.
