some issues

loud air conditioninghot air

i was a little disappointed with the room temperature. it was warm. an air conditioning unit was available, but it was excessively LOUD when operating. the duct at the back blew hot air back into the room, so it did not effectively cool the space. the room even became hotter when i turned the air con on.
