quick response helpful staff early check-in extra fee wall heater
the staff was helpful. i had sent emails before my visit, and the responses were quick. we arrived early before check-in, and they allowed us to change in a conference room (that was very kind of them) because our room was not quite ready.
we were charged an extra fee upon arrival (i didn't know about this beforehand). the thermostat in the room did not control the wall heater.
