Horrible. You will get sick if you stay two nights
Very Heavy comforter. Sweating woke up middle of the night. Can not sleep good. Even turn down the heat to 15. Should have the refund for that one night stay as I didn’t sleep. Horrible experience. I report complaint to the front desk next early morning. No sorry to hear from her.
