Average Stay with Noticeable Issues

broken air conditioning dirty bedsheets
The rooftop bar offered a nice view in the evening.
I was quite frustrated with the air conditioning situation. I booked a room with air conditioning, but it was broken upon arrival. Staff only offered a fan as a solution, so I suffered in the heat. To add insult to injury, I also found hair on the bedsheets. The experience felt unacceptable.
