some concerns
inadequate air conditioning street sounds
The room was not entirely satisfactory. I found the air conditioning inadequate. It struggled to cool the space, particularly during the warmer parts of the day. there was an issue with noise. Street sounds were quite noticeable, especially in the early mornings. This disrupted my sleep on several occasions.

Acceptable Stay, Some Issues Noted
faulty television limited minibar
The television in my room did not function, displaying no signal throughout my stay. I found this inconvenient. The minibar also lacked a sufficient selection of beverages. It could have offered a wider variety. The absence of readily available tea and coffee-making facilities in the room was a further disappointment. These issues detracted from an otherwise adequate experience.
