the location was acceptable, specifically its closeness to the mosque was decent.
My room situation had its issues. first, the ac seemed to have a mind of its own and kept cycling on and off. second, the promised room service was more of a ghost story than a reality. I swear, i pressed that button more times than i blinked, with no results to show for it.
