fantastic locationinadequate air conditioninguncomfortable temperature
The location proved excellent for accessing the Quay.
The air conditioning did not adequately cool the room. Despite continuous operation the temperature never dropped below 23.5 degrees. I found this too warm for sleeping, and a king bed would have been better.
