weak air conditioning limited breakfast

the air conditioning was quite weak it barely cooled the room down i had to ask for a fan which helped a little the breakfast buffet had limited options and some items ran out quickly the dining area felt cramped during peak hours. i really wanted a good breakfast but it was just disappointing. i think they need to improve on this aspect for a more comfortable stay

hot room window ventilation

The room was hot ALL night. I set the thermostat to the lowest setting, but it didn't change a THING. The windows do not open either. The situation made sleeping difficult, to say the least. I found the lack of window ventilation very frustrating, very frustrating
