It was so hot. The second I entered the property I started sweating. I had to buy a fan for just one night. Any time I was not directly in front of that fan, I was sweating. Otherwise the stay was fine.

The air conditioner was not working properly in my assigned room and it was very warm and stuffy in it. However, they did offer me a new room, and it ended up being a nicer room.
