helpful staff early check-in plentiful breakfast broken heater portable heater drafty window
The staff were helpful and always smiling! I managed to get both an early check-in and a late check-out, which I REALLY appreciated. The breakfast was plentiful and fresh, with everything constantly refilled.
The heater did not work well. I had to request a portable heater after the room temperature barely increased after 12 hours. The window in the room did not shut properly, it was drafty.
