We had a 5 night stay. By the time we realized (& hotel offered to move our room) it was more hassle than was worth it. The housekeeping door immediately adjacent to our room, SLAMMING at ALL hours of day AND Night. The thermostat control may have been from 1922. No real ability to regulate the temperature in the room. Either cold and warm during the night, or the reverse. Location to kill for.
