Disliked: Amenities
I recently stayed at this place and overall the experience was decent, but there were noticeable issues with the heaters. The room never really warmed up, even after adjusting the controls multiple times. It made the room uncomfortable, especially at night. This place has potential, but they definitely need to address the heating system before I’d consider returning.
