Issues with the Thermostat, we had a suite and the thermostat in the couch area worked just fine. The one in the bed area, we couldnt get the thermostat to properly heat the room. We arrived and it read 53. The toilet needs attention with the constant water on and off. Overall the room was clean and partly functionable.
