This hotel had the right idea, wrong execution. Our room had a very shakey and unsecure door, no hot water for the first day and no WiFi for the entire duration. When the front desk staff were met with our concerns they did not offer another room or other accommodations, the restaurant staff were superb and made my stay bareable
