Wonderful Room… just too warm

Everything was good except the room was very warm. We turned the radiators off, but it stayed rather warm. The window would not stay open to cool it down. Thankfully there was a fan. If there had not been a fan we would not have been able to sleep. The bathroom stayed blazing. The hallways leading to the rooms were extremely warm as well. Other than that the room was wonderful, service was great.
