Mixed experience with MAJOR issues

acceptable locationineffective heatingterrible sleep
The location proved acceptable. It was near the subway.
The room heating was completely ineffective. It switched off soon after I entered the room. I HAD to go down five floors to reception. It switched off again in the middle of the night. I experienced a terrible sleep.
