"It’s a well-appointed and generously-sized room. The walls were a touch thin, though this was mostly an issue because someone next door was wearing hard-soled shoes on the wood floor. The only real complaint was the mysterious inability of the air conditioning to stay on. After a seemingly random interval (in the range of hours), it would simply stop, and the only way to restart it was to power it off and on. There was no indication on the control panel that it was no longer working, and the co from panel looked exactly the same after power cycling it. Odd."
