Acceptable Location. Some Disappointments

excellent locationmissing air conditioningnoisy building site

The location was excellent for restaurants and access to public transport.

The lack of air conditioning for nearly 3 days was uncomfortable. One member of our group became ill. Inconvenient taxi access added to our frustrations. We had to find alternative routes. The view from our superior room overlooked a noisy building site. This was not what we expected.
