helpful staffstrange smellbroken air conditioning
The staff was helpful. The location had great access to key city areas.
The room smelled strange, like it was closed up with little ventilation. The air conditioning did not work at all, and being on the top floor made the heat unbearable. Reception told me sometimes this happens if all the rooms turn on the AC. This felt unacceptable.

the location was quite good because it was close to the center.
the room was not clean enough. i found a lot of hair in the bathroom. also, the heating made a loud ticking sound all night, so it was not ideal for sleeping.
