Normally I enjoy stays at this hotel but this visit was a disaster. First the room was insanely hot all the time with no ability to turn down the temp. Cracking the window in negative degrees just meant the room got extremely cold while sleeping. Secondly, there was some pipe or other knocking noise ...
