The unit doesn't have air conditioning or natural airflow to offset. Recommend offering a range of pillows instead of all flat, hard ones.

Didn't like the ramp from the bedroom to the kitchnette area - you expect a step in the middle of the night if getting up in the dark not a ramp :) Other than that it was clean and tidy and the front desk was very helpful on arrival
