insufficient breakfast absent air conditioning
I must say the breakfast left me wanting more. I do physically demanding work (don't ask), so a few pastries just didn't cut it. the absence of air conditioning became quite noticeable. A small fan was provided, but it hardly combatted the summer heat wave, imagine that.
