Mixed Feelings About My Stay

dated roomunreliable hot water
The room felt quite dated. It needs an update. The hot water in the shower was unreliable. It fluctuated from lukewarm to scalding unexpectedly. the concierge was not very helpful, appearing impatient and unwilling to spend much time assisting guests. These issues detracted from what could have been a more enjoyable experience.
