subpar stay needs attention
faulty air conditioning stained sheets
the location was acceptable, near to transport links and a few local shops.
the room i was allocated was far from excellent. the air conditioning didn't work properly, instead of cooling, it just kept displaying a 'centrally controlled' message and heated the room to an unbearable temperature. even worst was the stained sheets, it looked awful.
