Noise concerns
Several guests pointed out that the rooms weren't efficiently soundproofed, as they could hear noise from the communal areas come in through the windows. They also reported that the walls seem to be quite thin, as they could overhear conversations and movies being watched from above and next-door rooms.
negative:
Rooms could use some attention
Some guests reported the rooms to be outdated, since the furniture and appliances haven't been replaced yet. A few rooms also didn't look all that clean, with bedding being stained and hair being found in the bathrooms.
negative:
Staff hit or miss
While the overall impression of the entire staff seems to be a positive one, a few guests noted that some of the staff members failed to live up to their expectations, because they were somewhat dismissive and rude.
