I could not find the elevator. I tried all doors, but nothing opened. I thought there was not one, so I took the stairs everyday. Walking up 6 flights of stairs (20 each) daily in the heat was miserable.
I was told by other locals that this area was very unsafe, especially for a female solo traveller. I did not have any trouble, but was shocked to hear that.
I was not impressed with the air conditioner. I was sweating the whole time and I had it set as low as it would go. I did not sleep well due to this, which affected my vacation.
I turned on the hot water, as was indicated, and it seemed to make the water colder than when I did not use it. Not sure what happened there. I just got used to having very cold showers- not a very bad thing considering how hot it was! Curiously, after my (cold) shower, I flushed the toilet and the water there was scalding hot!
All this aside, the rooftop patio was a nice bonus, even if I could only use it after the sun went down due to the heat.
