Acceptable stay with some issues

unregulated temperature ac issue
The location was convenient for accessing various parts of the city.
The room temperature was difficult to regulate. Despite requesting adjustments, I was advised to turn off the AC and use a blanket. This wasn't a comfortable solution considering the cool weather.
