The conditions of the room doesn't match the price

The toilet door often opens itself, and the toilet exhaust fan is broken, and even no floor towel in the toilet. The air conditioning is very noisy ,but if you do not open it, it is cold when you sleep. I mean the covers are a little thin and there's no spare blanket. There are two mats on the carpet in the room, they often trip people.
