mixed feelings about my stay

faulty air conditioningconstant street noise
The room had issues. the air conditioning barely worked and smelled like fried food. It made sleeping difficult. also, the noise from the street was constant (even with the windows closed). i found it hard to relax because of the noise level and the stuffy, smelly air.
