Liked: Cleanliness
The elevators are horrible. You hit G and it takes you to 3. It wants your room key for any floor. So when it mistakenly takes you to 3 you have to get out of the elevator use your key. Then hit G. This or something similar to this happened 2x during our 1 day stay. The place is clean but the rooms are small so when house cleaning starts opening doors at 6am you can hear it.

Very nice stay! My only criticism is that I didn't know how to use the elevator panel, in that my key was needed to use it. I think it's a great safety mechanism, just needed to be informed.
