The worst part of this hotel is the heating system. We walked in the room and it was at 66 degrees. We turned on the heater and two hours later it was at 67 degrees. The front desk stated the heater takes a while to heat. At 0500 the temp in the room 70 degrees. I couldn’t sleep because it was so cold. We checked out and went to the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay! It’s always amazing!
