Heat pump did not work properly on automatic. First night it was set on Automatic. Woke up and was sweating. Had to stay up about 1/2 hour and manually controlled the heat pump by putting it on cool and shutting it off. the room was cold when I got up. Bathroom sink only had warm water from the hot faucet. I expected better. .

The hotel facility was very nice. The breakfast offered was a nice variety, however, everything hot was very peppery. The one "complaint" was just about every time I went to the front desk no one was around.
