faulty remotepoor sound insulation

I must report some issues . The remote control for the television was not working. I requested assistance , but the receptionist stated that they had never received complaints about the television before. This response felt dismissive. The walls provided insufficient sound insulation , and I could clearly hear conversations from the adjacent room.

the room i stayed in was quite warm, it made it a little difficult to sleep. i couldn't open the window wide because of a safety catch. this limited the amount of fresh air coming into the room. the mattress had old springs, i could feel them digging into my back.
