I stay in this particular hotel often as it is close to family when I come to town. This visit was far less satisfying than previous visits for three reasons.
(1) I needed a handicapped accessible room for my husband who traveled with me this visit. He had difficulty with the toilet being too low for him to use alone. It is a standard toilet. The room would be more accessible if the toilet were higher.
(2) There was little to no hot water in this room. The water would not reach a lukewarm temperature in the sink or the shower. When I turned the valve all the way to the left, the water became ice cold. When I barely turned it to the right, again ice cold. In the middle, it was still too cold to comfortably shower. The staff raised the temperature on the water heater a few degrees. But it was not helpful.
(3) The breakfast selections were not good this time. The pancake machine was not functioning. the other potions were potatoes, scrambled eggs and bacon or sausage each of the days that we were there. The selection is usually more varied.
I was disappointed this say as it was more uncomfortable for these reasons.
