The shower in room 227 was either cold or super hot, nothing in between, so we couldn’t shower. The breakfast was supposed to be at 6, it was moved to 7 because they were not ready.

The restaurant here is fantastic. Room was a bit small but comfortable. I wish they had a blanket option instead of the hot down comforter.
