Many of the other people in our group complained that their rooms were very small (couldn't open up the dresser drawers without hitting the beds, the shelf in the bathroom had to be taken out in order to be able to sit on the toilet without their knees touching the shelf), said their rooms were musty smelling, hot and cold water was a problem.
