mixed feelings about this stay

room temperaturepoor soundproofing
The room was quite warm , even with the provided fan. there was also a noticeable issue with noise . I could hear conversations and other disturbances from neighboring rooms. the lack of soundproofing made it difficult to relax. finally , the mugs in the room were quite basic , i think they could invest in some better quality items.
