the room i was initially assigned was subpar. it was situated adjacent to a lift, generating significant noise with each use. conversations outside the room were easily audible, suggesting inadequate soundproofing. additionally, the toilet's placement was awkward, and the floorboards creaked audibly. i requested a new room due to the disturbances.
