Freak accident?
Hotel is really nice for a weekend getaway, great location. Nice pool and amenities. We really like this hotel and have stayed here a few times. This last trip I plugged my cell phone cord into the USB wall outlet to charge my phone and it completely fried my phone. Don't know if this is just a weird one off incident but nevertheless I needed to go buy a new phone after plugging it in here.
