The Wi-Fi and internet connectivity needs attention. Despite having high end Ruckus access points in the room giving full strength wi-fi signals, the internet connection itself was very slow and intermittent.

Unfortunately, electrical parking was one and a half kilometres away. That meant a 3 kilometre hike to get to the charging. When I went back to get my car after dinner, I brought my luggage with the car and only then was able to check into the room. The hotel allowed me to plug in the front of the hotel but that was only a 110 V outlet. This gave me about 10% charging overnight.
