mixed feelings About my stay

unstable grab railmalfunctioning ipad
the ipad in the room WAS supposed to provide information about hotel services, but it didn't function properly. i had to call multiple departments to get basic details. also, accessing the pool was a challenge due to the complex route with stairs and lifts and the unsteady grab rail, this really hindered access for anyone with mobility issues.
