We expected the pool to be open. I was told the pipe was broken. It was closed. I chose this hotel because of the pool and I need to need with my legs. Also, I was not offered the $10 breakfast which I have been offered before we had a difficulty with the heating unit, making all kinds of noise and we had to change a room the next night. Place was clean Steve helpful unusual events caused problems.
