No ac, load music, and constant people slamming doors and yelling. No fans and poor air flow. Beds felt like over filled air mattress

No a/c, no fan, no ventilation, although website misleadingly says there's air conditioning in the room. Windows don't have any net screens, so cannot be left open. So no air circulation in the room. No soap provided in the bathroom. No drinking water provided. Kitchenette mentioned in the website is not a kitchenette. There's just a fridge and a microwave. No counter, no cups, bowls, dishes, no utensils and no stove or cooking vessels. The TV had no signal, so did not work.
