The hotel couldn't provide an iron when i requested one. i was told all irons were in use. This seemed unbelievable for a hotel charging those prices. they had expensive tvs. but not a basic iron. the staff said i was first on the waitlist, but it never arrived until 24 hours later. That delay was just annoying.
