Checked in and the room was 24°c which was terrible. Adjusted the r thermostat and went to dinner. 90 minutes later the room hadn’t changed temp. I called the desk she asked some questions then said call back in five minutes if it’s not working, I told explained it had not moved in 90 minutes but she basically hung up on me. 12 hours later it had dropped to 22°c. If you like a cool room that the AC works this isn’t the place. The proximity to the terminal is the only reason it was booked
