Average stay. Issues with the room

clean roominsufficient air conditioningmobile unit

the room was clean and well-appointed.

The room i was given was not what i expected for the price. The air conditioning unit was insufficient. a mobile unit had been placed in the room, it sounded like a jet engine! when the pipe detached from the air conditioning, i was given tape to fix it myself, i was very frustrated.
