faulty air conditioningshower drainage
the room's air conditioning did not function adequately , a significant oversight given the climate. shower drainage was also problematic , causing minor flooding in the bathroom. i found this unacceptable , particularly given the price point. the issues should be addressed to maintain a basic level of comfort.
