small roomineffective 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.
