Awesome property and location but instructions to enter the building were confusing and hard to follow. They were not completely accurate with what you had to put in the keypad at the entrance

The room a/c was shut off and the staff advised that they do it during cold season. The room was stuffy and not in a good area so because of this our 4 night booking became 2 nights. We have too look for another hotel.
