Acceptable stay but some issues exist

poor insulationinadequate air conditioning
The air conditioning performed inadequately. A staff member conceded this deficiency was hotel-wide. I found the noise insulation poor. Consistent street noise compromised the room's tranquility. These aspects negatively affected the stay.

musty odorfaulty air conditioning
I'm pretty annoyed by a persistent musty odor in the hallways, I noticed it right away. The hall looks so old, like it doesn't match the pictures I saw before. The air conditioner barely cooled the room at all. The staff admitted the air conditioning is a problem throughout the hotel. This.
