limited variety poor service

the hotel room was spacious, acceptable.

I had some issues, though. The air conditioning did not work correctly, so i found it difficult to sleep because the room was too warm. also, the variety at breakfast was limited, and items were not restocked promptly. i think for the price, the service could have been much better.
