just ok, really.
staff recommendations local restaurant broken air conditioning noisy street
the staff provided some recommendations for local restaurants. that was helpful, i suppose.
The air conditioning barely worked. i reported it, but nothing changed. They just brought a noisy portable unit. sleeping with the window open meant street noise all night.
