Underwhelming stay. Expected more

faulty heating poor soundproofing
The heating was a real issue. It didn't work at all . the room reminded me of an icebox, honestly! i contacted the staff, but they were unable to fix it. it was an unpleasant experience. also, the soundproofing was not great. i could hear noise from the street and other rooms, hard to sleep well.
