"The air-conditioning didn’t work too good when I complained about it they just sent the maintenance man upstairs to revise it, which didn’t help much. I spent most of my days sweating instead of them switching the room. They kept me in the same room for maybe 10 days my stay here wasn’t that too much of a good experience. I work for the state out in the sun 12 hours a day and I expect to get back to a very cold room which I didn’t."
