The location was certainly convenient for exploring the city center.

The room felt quite stuffy, and the air conditioning was noticeably absent (I later learned new air con was supposedly being installed). I was given a small fan, but it did little to combat the humidity. I requested more milk for the room while I was out, yet that request was ignored.
