Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
I was there just for the night and then leaving at 4:00 a.m. The next morning. When I got up and went into the shower there was no hot water. When I went to the sink there was no hot water at all. I wasn't able to take a shower and had to clean myself with a hand towel because it was not as cold as the water coming out of the pipes. I was very upset that I rented a room needing sleep and a shower and only got sleep.
