Almost petfect

Every thing great except for airconditioning. Didn’t work first night because of storms. By they one I worked that out there was no one to ask. But it wasn’t a major issue. More the issue was that when it got to work there was a limit on the minimum temperature being 22C. Just too high for me. I was hold that if one asks ahead of time they may be able to remove the limit. Probably works for some.

Paid the highest amount for room available which was a high floor and a superior room. We only got the 13th floor and the room was quite tired. The carpets were stretched. Lots of marks on the wall and the kitchen utensils was all pretty average so a little disappointing for this nice property.
