Room was clean as usual, food was good for breakfast, parking was fine. Did have a problem with the thermostat it kept going on and off during the night. I need white noise to help me sleep like the sound of a steady fan. When the thermostat went on it was fine, but it only lasts a short time then there was complete quite till the next cycle.
