lack of air conditioning excessive noise

the hotel location met my expectations, as it provided easy access to nearby attractions.

I encountered several issues. the lack of air conditioning was a major problem. Two desk fans did little to alleviate the heat. noise was pervasive and getting to my room involved navigating a maze of stairs.
