Centralized control of heat/air is ridiculous! Our room was 78 degrees the entire time with no option to adjust. You can request a fan or extra blankets. I assume this is the hotels way of saving money. We also tried to get a late night snack but there were no options in the hotel. We were told we could go across the street. Very disappointing.
