underwhelming experience
bathroom sensor light kids menu
the bathroom sensor light was a big problem. it kept turning on whenever someone moved slightly in bed. this lit up the whole room throughout the night and really disturbed my sleep! i also felt a kids menu in the restaurant would have been helpful.
