shower temperaturebuilding maintenance

The room was small, i expected more space. the shower temperature fluctuated a lot. it was difficult to get a consistent water temperature. Sometimes it was scalding hot, and other times, it was freezing cold, it was very annoying. i think the building needs some maintenance.
