2) They charge extra for faster internet (the non charged internet is non functional/too slow) -- they should not be charging for that, also ridiculous 3) it's a bit noisy from the airport though to be fair if it was just this I'd be a 3 or 4 star rating.

Representative review quotes

These excerpts show the review language behind the measured signal.

Google Maps Complaint quote
But what's absolutely unacceptable is the fact that neither the Wi-Fi works nor can the air conditioning be controlled in any way.

Review rating: 1.0

Google Maps Praise quote
The roof has games to play, connect 4, ping pong, and a large chess set!

Review rating: 5.0

Tripadvisor Complaint quote
They kept going back and forth about it so I had to take a photo of the bill alongside the menu, the pool stuff saw me taking the pictures and ten minutes later I couldn’t find my phone, after a minute of looking for it, I remembered that my towels were replaced one too many times, right after they were replaced already and I immediately suspected that it was “”mistakingly placed”” in the towels bin, maybe, connected somehow to the photos I took.

Review rating: 2.0

Tripadvisor Praise quote
I noticed in my old photos there used to be a Morton's Steakhouse connected to SLS that's also now an empty/unused space.

Review rating: 4.0
