excellent location helpful staff basement smell poor air conditioning

The hotel's location was excellent for accessing major attractions. The staff was attentive and helpful with taxis and directions. I appreciated that they gave recommendations for restaurants and routes.

The room smelled like an old basement. The air conditioning barely worked and the room was hot. I found this unacceptable for the price.

the room i got wasn't the one i booked. after a quick apology, they put me in a disability room cause it was the only one left. honestly, the bathroom felt more like a two-star hotel. why is the standard so low in disability rooms? plus, they shouldn't take bookings if they can't keep their word. it wasn't the stay i was expecting at all and that standard rooms are also terrible.
