Our room was very cold and drafty and we had no hot water, we had to move. The second room was better but we didn’t even get an acknowledgement from the staff that this was a huge inconvenience.

Check in was excellent, courteous staff, comfortable bed, however the bathroom was ridiculously tiny, and the shower in the tub took an unimaginable time to get hot, and then got too hot and didn’t respond safely to the controls.
