Very nice room but on the cold side.

Room was very clean and adequate however I was cold while sleeping. The bathroom was even colder. In fact, it was so cold in the bathroom. I was unable to take a shower. It would be solves if the owners would put a heat lamp in the bathroom, the heater in the front room is adequate, but the heat does not travel around the corner into the bathroom and into the shower area. Also, the bed was very comfortable, but there was no blanket available on the bed just a light comforte. So my husband was warm bd toasty on his side next to heater. My side next to sink area nd bathroom was not warm enough even sleeping with my sweatpants and sweater. it would be nice if the management would provide a blanket as only a light bedspread type covering. Other than that, the room was very nice clean and comfortable.
