Firstly, the staff is phenomenal and extremely professional. However, just kicking back and watching TV was a challenge as it was constantly reconfiguring. The staff informed IT, problem persisted. They graciously moved me to another room, same problem. Next day, coffee maker was on the fritz. Comps were offered for the inconveniences, but, it is important to master the basic amenities as part of the luxury experience. The robes are great and the staff is totally top notch!
