I stayed with family members in several different rooms. Some of us experienced malfunctioning climate control in our rooms. Too warm. Staff responded, however, given the rating of the premises, this is unacceptable. The complimentary breakfast was very good & dining staff attended the supply and cleanliness very well. They are outstanding!
