The shower had a problem regulating the temperature, but it was a perfect stay other than that. I wonder if it is possible to have a few more electric chargers for electric cars? The parking was full the evening I arrived and then, the next day, the chargers were all full. This complicated my return to Montreal significantly, as Ottawa does not have a great supply of EV chargers.
