amazing hotel experience!

king roomample spacegreat servicecold room
i had a king room and it had plenty of space. there was even a spot to work which i appreciated. the service was excellent especially the young lady at reception. she was an intern but her politeness was amazing!
i arrived and the room was too cold. even with the thermostat set high it remained chilly. the bathroom was also quite cold and there was barely any warm water for a shower.
Location
