A little tired and noisy
The bed was comfortable but the doors were noisy and opening and closing them late at night kept me awake. The kitchen and common areas were a bit tired but clean. There was little instruction from the front desk regarding things like food storage. The stove had no instructions and the paint with temperature settings and oven setting was worn off.
