the breakfast was acceptable. it had many options to choose from.
the lack of proper air conditioning was a major issue. the room temperature remained too high, even with the temperature control set low. they provided a fan, but it wasn't enough to make the room comfortable. i felt misled by the advertisement of air conditioning and ended up checking out early.

the location was acceptable, with easy access to nearby attractions.
The noise level was unacceptable. Loud music from a nearby bar continued until 4 am one night. i requested a room change, but staff denied it, claiming no other rooms were available despite my early check-in, this was really frustrating!
