We honestly opted to move to another hotel without complaining. There is the process of remodeling and I hope once it’s completed there will no longer be issues with the AC. This is not a reflection of the staff as they tried to make us feel comfortable

Property is very old but that’s part of its charm. Not sure I liked the fact that we didn’t have a window in our room. A window could be needed for emergencies and to let in fresh air. Room was stuffy
