inadequate soundproofing full car park

I found the parking arrangements unsatisfactory. The designated car park was full upon my arrival. I had to find alternative parking on the road. Securing a spot proved challenging, i suggest more clarity regarding parking availability beforehand. I also felt the room lacked adequate soundproofing I could hear noise from adjacent rooms and the hallway. This interfered with my rest.
