ONLY ONE PROBLEM: Ancient Heating! After I arrived and checked in, my room was very cold, and there seemed no heating. I rang the receptionist and she told me there was a panel on the floor under the windows with a screw that had to be turned to turn on the heater. I tried this, and waited over an hour, but nothing.Then i tried the screw again which was very stiff and finally it turned. After over an hour there was heat...and it was ok after that. Management should inform customers that this archaic form of heating is all they have. And it may be difficult to use. Maybe other rooms are better.....other than that, the room was lovely, wonderful views, clean bathroom, nice bed and pillows....and when i returned in the evening the room was very warm....so pretty good after all. Thankyou.
