Mediocre Stay. Some issues noted.

broken air conditioningmissing facilities
The air conditioning did not work properly. I had to keep the window open, but it was noisy outside. The room lacked tea and coffee facilities and there was no bin in the bedroom. The hotel feels overpriced for what it offers. It is just a very basic room.
