There's a lot of time wear in the building.... the laundry facility was pretty dirty.... The heat and the ice machine in the laundry room of facility did not work.... The shower set up in my room leaves a lot to be desired.. The knob to turn the shower on is on the opposite end of the open door.. So when you turn the shower on you get bombarded with cold water. Bad design.
