Thanks, I got one last time and LOVE it and ordered 3 more. I noticed this is the Hotel version. Here is what I found on JBL's site:
HORIZON 2 vs HORIZON 2 HOTEL
Support Overview / How To / HORIZON 2 vs HORIZON 2 HOTEL
These two products are identical. The only difference between them is...
HORIZON 2: out-of-the-box is set to HOTEL OFF
HORIZON 2 HOTEL: out-of-the-box is set to HOTEL ON
On either unit, to toggle HOTEL mode ON or OFF, press and hold Alarm 1 and Preset 1. The LCD indicator will show the HOTEL status, ON or OFF.
The unit will retain this setting, even when unplugged. The only way to change the mode is to press and hold the two buttons again. Or course, a Factory Reset will also restore to the original out-of-the-box setting.
When HOTEL mode is ON, these are the following changes that occur.
Alarm can only be set for a single day.
Alarm will ONLY work as a buzzer.
A Room Number can be set.
A Max Alarm Volume can be set.
Bluetooth cannot auto-reconnect.

Dude, holy shit, you just changed my life. This was not anywhere in documentation. This thing has been driving me nuts with no radio alarm capabilities. Thank you, GOAT

Don't do it. I read the reviews and I decided to take a chance last time it came up on SD. The display dims sporadically so low that it's not visible, even in the dark. There is also no way to have the alarm repeat. Since i turn it off in the morning i have to remember to turn it back on the following day. Now it's a paper weight.
It'd be cool if it was portable. Portable clock speaker would be pretty sweet. Especially if it had voice activated timer/stopwatch since google assistant took that feature away (the stopwatch)
I picked up an Insignia one from Best Buy a few years back. It has a battery and Google Assistant, so i can take it outside with me, if needed. Its been a great portable clock speaker. When i tried going back for another, i found out that they were pulled form the shelves, so i got lucky when i found it on sale.

Just for the record, I just received mine and it was fine.
