The coldest hotel room I’ve ever entered. Yes the heating kicked in within 5-10 minutes but you also don’t expect to experience that when you arrive It was okay because we could go to the bar for 30 minutes but it would have been an issue had I got there late and needed to go straight to bed. Staff were helpful and brought an additional heater and the hotel is clean and quiet.
