decent location , but room ISSUES

warm temperaturemissing amenities
the room i stayed in LACKED proper air conditioning. despite it BEING advertised, the temperature remained uncomfortably WARM. i was advised to open the window , which wasn't ideal DUE to street noise. the room itself felt basic , missing amenities typically expected in a hotel of THIS caliber.
