Thank you for providing some great feedback from your stay. We try to make our guests aware of our small rooms before they stay and we totally agree that the thermostats are technologically advanced which is why we can also control this at the front desk. Thank you for your suggestions and nice comments about our staff. We hope you come back to stay with us again.
