The plumbing did not work, you had to flush the toilet multiple times and wait for it to go down, same with the sink. The walls are paper thin and lots of young kids staying there to go to clubs, so you can hear everything. There was also a thermostat on the wall, but it didn't control the heat, so it was either really hot or really cold. Bed was uncomfortable. Looked nice from the pictures, but not what I was expecting.
