The hotel is old and needs to have a few face lifts. We turned off the fan for the hvac and a couple of hours later the room smelled like smoke. We could not figure out where it was coming from and then in the middle of the night we turned the fan back on and the smoke smell started to go away.

Room was nice. Unfortunately the air con did almost nothing, the wifi had major connectivity issues and there was a function on one night and that was pretty loud but it didnt really matter as no matter what we did we couldnt block out the noise and lights from the bar across the road :(
