I had a discussion about this with them : as designed, the existing system is a whole-hotel system and they have to decide whether to put it in 'heat' or 'cool' mode. Until and unless it is in cool mode, then no-one gets cooling, just fan.
And even when it is in cool mode, it still doesn't cool the rooms effectively.

They did specifically confirm that the refurbishment introduces proper per-room air conditioning.
