Some issues .

non-working air conditioningsafety hazard
The air conditioning was not working correctly . It took hours to try to resolve the issue. The staff did NOT offer fans or other solutions, so I had to endure the heat. It was quite unplesant (understatement!). a sharp nail protruded from the floor behind the main door and that was a REAL safety hazard.
