Disrupted sleep
My wife and I had an awful night of deprived sleep as the sofa bed was so uncomfortable. Furthermore the air conditioning unit was really noisy, even on the lowest setting.

You are booking here probably because you need to attend a ceremony nearby, so perfectly fine for a short stay. It has a certain kind of familiarity to it. No air-con but we were here in November so not a problem at all. 30 or so spots of parking, no lift to 2nd floor, no complaints.
