Johanne

Disliked: Amenities
The room had no controls for the heating system. It was freezing in the room. No extra blankets in the room. The bathtub was scuffed and old and possibly black mold around the tiles near the faucet. Staff was very friendly and apologetic for heating problem, as there is no individual room heat it is the whole building.
