The internet service drops out frequently .we, so I went to sleep instead of "watching" YouTube without 'buffering due to slow connection" because of the windy weather during the night. The hot water service in the shower sure did take almost 5 minutes to warm up; to maintain heat the taps were extremely difficult. The taps seemed very touchy and sensitive Other than those very small issues I was totally satisfied and grateful, the room was nicely set out. The added bonus was there was actually a small/medium-size bathtub in the "bathroom". WINNING, Thanks for the easy check-in process, clean and maintained room.
