"The location of this hotel is amazing, nice cozy room and view. Although rooms need some maintenance, shower door were lose and hardware, had water leaking that made floors wet. Tv wasn't setup for use. Requested assistant first report, few hours past no one came after being told someone was assigned. 2nd report, gave instructions how to connect yourself. Finally after 3rd request the representative at front desk came to check but still no luck. We we told management has been informed and they will get back. Nothing happened. Stayed 2 days no house keeping was offered. Overall atmosphere and place was good. Good for small vacation."
