Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your stay.

Our staff worked tirelessly to resolve the heater issue as quickly as possible under these challenging circumstances. We truly regret any discomfort this may have caused and would like the chance to improve your recent experience with some options. Please contact us directly at [email protected], Attention: Guest Relations. Thank you once again for your feedback.
