Mixed Feelings About My Stay

uncontrollable air conditioning crowded street
I faced a couple of issues . The air conditioning was difficult to control. I had to turn it completely off and on to adjust the temperature, it never maintained a consistent level. Also. the street outside was quite crowded. This made it a challenge to get transportation right to the hotel entrance.
