Acceptable Stay with Notable Issues

friendly staffineffective air conditioningstreet noise

The staff at the reception was friendly.

The air conditioning barely worked. I found it hard to sleep. The room lacked soundproofing, so street noise was constant. there was no elevator. Carrying luggage to the second floor was difficult.
