9. The front desk wasn't too helpful (no direction as to how to get to the upper floors, confusing because the first elevator you come to isn't accessible, erroneous instructions over the phone as to how to turn on the shower, no instruction as to mini-bar as mentioned).

"Different, fun " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/2/2012 Vote

10. We did have a minor snag, when the hot water to the shower went out while we were attempting to get ready to check out.
