Fairly good location. Changing my reservation from a king bed to two queens after the cancellation timeframe was absurdly overpriced.

Not so good.

The HVAC system did not work in the room. We tried to lower the room temp and we could not lower it. At 3AM we just turned it off. The room was 71 when we got up.

The heat in the room was not working. I froze while trying to sleep. I checked in at 2am so too late to call maintenance and didn’t realize the problem until I tried to go to sleep at 3 and had to get up at 6 so also to late to change rooms. I had stayed in a different room at this same property last week with the same issue. Management did refund my money immediately so I appreciate that.
