underwhelming stay

central locationfaulty air conditioningdusty window seals
the hotel was centrally located, convenient.
The air conditioning did not work properly. The room felt stuffy. staff only offered a fan as a solution, and i expected more from a hotel. i also found that the room needed better vacuuming, as corners of the carpet had not been cleaned and window seals were dusty.
