decent stay, some issues

good breakfastbroken air conditioningdated bathroom

The breakfast was good. It had a decent selection.

The room was small, and the promised amenities were not all available. I specifically booked a room with air conditioning, but it was not working (unfortunate, really). The bathroom was also quite dated. It needs some attention.
