noise issues overshadowed cleanliness

noise problem soundproof room
the room was clean and i did appreciate that.
the noise was a major problem. i booked a soundproof room hoping for peace, but it did not deliver. i could clearly hear the tv and conversations from the room next to mine. snoring was also audible, made sleep difficult.
