Maria VActually it was a terrible experience because I was freezing all night and couldn't sleep or relax at all. I even used 2 other covers from another bed but we're of no help. Those covers that you call "blankets" don't keep you warm because of the type of material that is very cold and with the A/C so high it was like being inside a freezer. Even my foot big toe lost blood circulation at it took me a long time to reactivate blood flow.
Now I understand why the locals were thick jackets and warm pants to sleep on the bus, the temperatures are horribly cold and they know that.
It's sad that they waste so much energy during the night in the buses when the sun is not out and there is no need for freezing cold A/C all night.
Besides that, the space available to sleep in the single bed is very tight and the top part is used for all the A/C vents and controls which I couldn't shut completely, so my head was exposed to all the leaked cold air all night. Unfortunately it's a terrible experience not to be repeated, wasted night and wasted money.
By the way, I even forgot my nice sleep eye mask in the bed and it would be nice to recover if it's possible. Thank you.
