boiler proximity delivery area

i really wanted a quiet stay, but the room's proximity to the boiler was a real problem. even with the earplugs they gave me, sleep was difficult. the location at the back, overlooking the delivery area and staff entrance, just added to the noise. this made relaxing pretty impossible. the general standard of the room was fine, but the disturbance really let things down. the noise from early deliveries was also annoying.
