shower temperature tv remote
The breakfast had many options and tasted pretty good.
I am frustrated by the issues. The shower temperature was hard to regulate. It switched from hot to cold TOO quickly. The tv remote did NOT work, and staff took a long time to fix it. It was quite ANNOYING (to say the least).
