the staff were polite. the communal areas seemed satisfactory and included a decent selection of snacks.
the air conditioning did not function . i contacted reception about this issue. there was no follow-up or resolution, i found this unacceptable. the location felt unsafe to walk around at night. there were several homeless people in the street, and it smelled unpleasant.
