Our room (307) thermostat was working properly. It says 67° but it felt like 62° especially with the window draft. That should get checked out. And the shower water was not warm at all.

What a cool hotel! It was obviously once used as apartments, but the new set up is even cooler. We had SUCH a spacious room, with an included bathroom that was clean and comfortable. It was so spacious, in fact, that each bed had a TV at the end of it. We were very comfortable.
