The room was excellent. The front desk staff was awesome. The only issue I had was the hot water for the shower was very inconsistent but I suspect it may be related to some sort of environmental thing.

There was no hot water during my stay. I complained to the front desk but it wasn’t fixed. I don’t know if it was due to the cold weather or not.
