Everything but tv/internet is perfect

Everything was great except the tv/internet situation. In other hotels, i can use an hdmi to play from my computer. This hotel has it set to only be able to google cast, which would be fine, except it only worked sparingly.

Cute hotel

The staff was super friendly. The breakfast was decent; we were there for 3 mornings and only 1 had bananas that were edible. The room wasn't sound proof, but not bad.
