Called office 3 different occasions regarding the wi-fi. The front desk person, contacted a gentleman that came twice and did the same thing and still nothing. He informed us that he would contact the manager. No one ever showed up. So, we were without TV until I finally figured out how to use my hot spot. That only lasted about an hour and the TV stated unauthorized user and cut off. No manager ever came and upon check-out the next day, management argued with us stating he had fixed the issued, but that was the next day. Did not offer a refund and I was told that if the TV was not working, I could have just checked out.
