It was so hot. The second I entered the property I started sweating. I had to buy a fan for just one night. Any time I was not directly in front of that fan, I was sweating. Otherwise the stay was fine.

It was so hot I couldn’t sleep. None of us could, and there were only four of us. Nervous about returning tonight to a 10 bed room
The air conditioner was not working properly in my assigned room and it was very warm and stuffy in it. However, they did offer me a new room, and it ended up being a nicer room.
