Acceptable Stay with Issues

ample breakfastbroken air conditioningno ventilation
The breakfast selection offered ample choices.
The room lacked proper ventilation because the air conditioning did not work. This made it very stuffy and resulted in a poor night's sleep. no windows in the small room could be opened.
