We booked with this hotel because Expedia listed Air Conditioning as an amenity. When we arrived, we learned there are stipulations such as daily surcharges and also certain months when AC cannot be used. There is also an optional, daily fee to use appliances such the mini fridge.
The cost is not worrisome to me. I believe businesses should stand to make a profit. But the bait and switch nature of this operation was disheartening. If there are certain months of the year when the AC units will not be operating, it should be explained up front on the Expedia listing. What if my wife is pregnant and I want to make her as comfortable as possible?
Also, the hotel operator (Luca) did not follow through on his communications. For example, he committed to check if a fan was available for me to borrow. During another conversation, he offered to leave mosquito repellent in our room in case we needed to open the windows at night. Neither one of these solutions materialized, which is totally acceptable. But Luca didn't close the communication to at least tell us he came up empty handed.
My wife and I felt we were being deceived, so we checked out earlier than scheduled and we booked another hotel in the area. We didn't care to seek any reimbursement as to honour the reservation.
On the bright side, the woman we dealt with at checkout was very lovely, and the property is very clean. But if you intend to pay for and use the AC, I recommend you confirm this ahead of time.
