Check in pleasant. Room clean. However power went off overnight. There was no heat half of night, and could not shower in dark before leaving. Checked out at 9:50 when leaving power came on. When checking out I asked if since power had went out would we at least receive a discount. No apologies adv all power had went out around and was not their fault. I do understand but would have thought more apologetic and would get a little discount. It also was not my fault power went out. I paid for room with heat and shower.
