temperature control room noise

The suite offered a spacious layout, suited for my needs as a solo traveller. The staff were helpful and readily available when I needed assistance.

I experienced issues with the room's temperature control (it was a bit frustrating). It was difficult to regulate, made the room either too warm or too cold. The noise from adjacent rooms was also a distraction. Conversations were clearly audible through the walls, impacting my ability to relax (which is very important when travelling).
