I was pretty frustrated. the room was tiny, i mean, REALLY small. also, the wifi was a joke. It kept disconnecting. it seemed like i was back in the stone age. i couldn't even stream a movie without constant buffering, unacceptable in this day and age! the small room and unreliable wifi really put a damper on things.
