Great location. Have stayed a few times before. Helpful staff. Very nice room. Best shower ever. Our only issue was with the heating. After discovering we had on wrong setting for warmth it was great until around 11 pm when we got back to the room (we never altered the settings on the remote} there was no heat again and we froze for the night. Bit warmer when we woke up. Possibly on a timer?
