The heat never warmed up the room, it literally only moved 1.5 degrees over night. The shower water was luke warm, added to a cold room. Bed was terrible and the linens are outdated and thin. I was also disappointed to find no tv after reading under the entertainment section there was satellite so I assumed there would be a tv.
