There was no lift on-site, that's why guests had a difficult time going to their rooms as it was a long walk up to three flights of stairs. This was an inconvenience for older guests as well as to those who had mobility issues.
Noise from both the street and from the people in the corridors can be heard inside the rooms due to the thin walls. What's worse was, there were people who stayed up all night partying.
