Agree with previous reviews, excessive heat in the rooms, no coffee maker, no available electrical outlets, poor water pressure, and strange door lock system. The price is right, though, and I would stay here again.

The facility was very average. Mattress had grooves. Room so hot we slept with the window open (in winter) even after turning down the heat. No one to ask for an extra pillow after 7pm. Shelf above sink so low I hit my head on it. On the plus side, clerk was very polite when we checked in. The view out our window was gorgeous. Would not go back.

The view is outstanding and the staff is nice, but that's about all I can say about this property. The room was boiling and the thermostat didn't work and the heat adjustment on the shower didn't work either. The bed was old and soft and the furnishings in the room were very run down. I couldn't recommend.
