No proper control of heat in room, too hot, thermostat only goes as low as 65, no a/c to cool the room down. ESA certified fur baby and still got charged $25/night...I'm sorry but I consider a certified ESA animal as qualified as a service animal and she should have been free just like the service animals. Continental breakfast was plentiful but not tasty .. soggy uncooked waffles, muffins tasted bland, English muffins tasted like cardboard, and coffee was very bitter no matter how much sugar or creamer was added. Finally, went to get in the shower and there were red ants in the bathroom on the floor... front desk provided ant spray but also admitted it was a problem due to semi-heated floors..ants come out !!! Accomodations overall were nice, clean, and comfy bed. Pleased they put me on main floor and close to back door for ease of fur baby potty breaks.
