We enjoyed the hotel and the people. The issue was with the temperature in the room. We were not able to adjust the temp. The room was overheated in the night. We would wake up 2-3 times in the night extremely hot. ? Not happy about this. We should have a range we can set it at, and the rooms should be cooler at night.

The check in was fair. It was hard to hear what the clerk said because she was mumbling and she was kind of rude. The check out clerk was much better. Beautiful hotel but our room had no windows, just a sky light. The room was very large and nice otherwise.
