location is ok BUT some issues

ineffective air conditioning limited breakfast

i found the air conditioning system INEFFECTIVE. it was like it wasn't working properly, even though I tried to adjust the settings. The room remained too warm for comfort, especially at night. i was disappointed with the limited selection at breakfast. the choices felt repetitive and not worth the extra cost.
