decent choicefaulty air conditioningrude receptionist
Breakfast had a decent choice. That was acceptable.
The air conditioning did not work. Hot air came from it when I switched it on, so I reported it to reception, but the technician could not repair it. Staff offered no solutions. They suggested downgrading my room without a refund, and they were rude.
