ineffective air conditioning missing refrigerator
The hotel's air conditioning did not work effectively, resulting in an uncomfortably warm room, and the window could not be opened. i found the lack of proper climate control frustrating. the absence of a refrigerator in the room was a significant inconvenience , especially considering the summer heat.
