Malfunctioning air conditioning systems
Air conditioning units in some rooms suddenly work on their own, which makes the rooms freezing. Some are leaking, while some units are difficult to use. You can always call for a maintenance staff and have them fix the equipment.

Communication problems with the front desk
Some guests found it difficult to communicate with the staff at the front desk. You might have to repeat your questions or requests multiple times. If you're having serious problems during your stay and the staff seems unable to assist you, you may wish to speak directly with the manager immediately.

Poor Premium Member/Club Member recognition
