The room included a fridge, helpful for storing drinks.
The air conditioning was TERRIBLE. It blasted cold air constantly, even when turned off. The staff gave me a small heater, but my throat became sore and I got a headache because of the continuous cold air. I couldn't sleep properly because of this.
