Not enough staff in the front counter. There was a lineup regardless of the time of day. Also, there was no safety box in the room. After calling twice and were told they were going to come up and check. We waited 45 minutes, no one showed up. I had to go to the front desk and notify them of the situation. Finally repair staff installed a new one inside the cabinet below tv. 😞
