They had a great design idea but poor execution or maintenance. Shower walls with mold and water build up inside, broken drain slab. All minor things, but it made this 5 star hotel feel like 4 stars. Food wasn't the greatest, but not bad. The only thing I was upset about was them ignoring the "do not disturb" sign, as they got in the room regardless to make the bed and touched our stuff that was on top of it. We were there for only 2 nights and didn't need room cleaning, so we kept the "do not disturb" sign on. Thankfully we weren't in the room when they came in, but I was still upset to find out they ignored the sign.
