Acceptable Location, Noticeable Issues

convenient locationpoor soundproofinginconsistent water
The hotel is situated very close to the train and bus stations, this proved convenient.
The room lacked proper soundproofing. I could hear conversations from neighboring rooms quite clearly. There was also a noticeable smell of stale air throughout the hotel, including my room. The water temperature in the shower fluctuated. It alternated between hot, cold, and scalding.
