Guests expressed surprise that for what they paid at the hotel, there was no TV in their room. They said the rooms were too austere and simplistic, and that for the rates they were charged, they expected better rooms with more amenities.

The shower takes a long time to warm up, some guests lamented. They said the water system was inefficient and wasted water considering there's a long-running drought in California. Some even reported having to take cold showers. They said this was unacceptable.

Several guests complained that their Wi-Fi connection was problematic in their rooms. They reported that it either malfunctioned completely or was too slow to function. It couldn't stream Netflix.
