Acceptable , but with some issues

faulty tapnoisy room
The room I had was quite noisy. I could clearly hear the television and coughing from the neighbouring room. The tap in the bathroom was also faulty , and the shower had inconsistent water temperature. The sausages at breakfast seemed very overcooked.
