Review Score: 10

Summary: The rain showerhead was tilted the wrong way so after finishing there was a huge puddle of water almost out to the bed. We adjusted it. Then the safe which worked fine at first wouldn't open. It kept saying error. The first girl couldn't fix it so I had to wait for someone else to take it apart. Then I came back at 4pm and our room was still not made up. Not a good first experience for our initial stay at your hotel.
