Exhaust fan noise

Pros: Location and decor
Cons: Close down Room 10 and make it into a storage cupboard or relocate the exhaust duct and fan.
The Ship & Trades is a generally clean and tidy modern hotel on the waterfront in the old docklands. It has been built in an old docklands workshop and has interesting docklands industrial decor. However, some of the hotel rooms are above a supermarket located in the same building. Our room (#10) is located adjacent to an exhaust duct from the supermarket and the exhaust fan runs 24 hours a day. The noise from this fan is loud and very irritating, particularly once other noises diminish after dark. Our sleep that night was fitful and disturbed, leaving us both tired and drained when we should have been well rested. We commented to staff about the noise in the morning and were told that no one had ever complained before. This I find very hard to believe given how loud it seemed to us!
