1. As a result of this and the fact that the hot tap got so scalding hot that it was difficult to turn off, we found it best to leave it running until all of us were showered.

3. This meant lathering up, standing back and jumping in when the temperature was bearable and before it turn ice cold or scalding hot again.

5. The water temp of the shower also reflected this all or nothing condition going from scalding to freezing with out warning.

6. The hot water in the shower did not work, the safe was broken, then the shower diverter was broken and I had ice cold water followed by scalding water in my shower.

7. The downsides were the beds which were fairly hard and the shower- we had to fiddle with it a lot to find the delicate balance between freezing cold water and scalding hot.

8. Got a deal online, so that was good, but the phone in the room didn't work right, the shower did alternating blasts of freezing and scalding water, the bed was very creaky, and there was a weird beeping noise outside the room during the night.

9. The 'system' was down during our entire visit (except to check out and take our money), and as a result, the following problems occurred: our room, which had a chorus of 'water in the pipes' that 'chimed' every half-hour, along with a bath that went from too hot to too scalding added with somewhat tattered bed linens and a hair dryer that worked if you jiggled the button, all could not be taken care of.

10. We received our room, only to find that there was no cold water and that the showers were dangerously scalding hot, and that the courtesy hair dryer was non-functional.
