the only slight inconvenience i encountered was that the smart tv in my room did not support airplay or mirroring, which limited my entertainment options.

The lifts was messed up. When I pushed a button on one side, buttons for the lift on the other side lit up in the opposite direction. It was confusing. My main issue was with the lack of help on arrival. No one offered to assist with our luggage, which I found pretty poor.
