The AC in the room was so noisy. How can anybody sleep with such a noice? If the AC in the room wasn’t running g then the AC at the end of the floor where my room was, was running. I barely slept this night. The toilet wasn’t cleaned properly. Really disgusting! And I had an annoying fly in my room. I liked the overall look of that hotel. Modern and new. No dirty carpet in the rooms. My room was spacious.
