adequate but unremarkable stay

small room ineffective air conditioning

the room felt smaller than expected. while clean, its size limited comfort. there was also an issue with the air conditioning unit, it struggled to maintain a cool temperature (even during mild weather). this made sleeping somewhat difficult. i also found the breakfast area too cramped during peak hours.
