I would not recommend staying at this property during the summer. There is no air conditioning in the heat is unbearable especially if you are upstairs they offer a fan for your room, but it does nothing to cool it down. It just blows hot air around. I ended up staying only three of the four nights because I was miserable in the heat and could not sleep. During the day I had to make sure to sink on all day long.

No issues except that the road traffic and some Fumes start early and end late. That would be true of anything on the main drag.
