No AC or fan. Room very hot at night, and when you leave windows open for some ventilation insects gets into the room and you can’t have a comfortable night sleep. Asked for a fan and they said they did not have, ended up leaving early before my planned check out and went to another hotel.

Everything works for me except that the Elevators are two small boxes for the entire building. I stand 12 minutes to get into one. Just pray there is no fire or emergency that you need to get out of that building fast. Otherwise, I like the service, cleanliness, and everything else.

The rooftop area was excellent for entertainment. Nice ambiance up on the rooftop with live music and djs occasionally. The cleaning staff didn't clean my room 2 of the 4 days. The breakfast which was included was served cold without burners keeping the food warm. Check out process took me about an hour. That's unacceptable.
