4. My only complaint was that the water pressure in the shower was horrible, and the temperature seemed to fluctuate.

5. (1) don't flush while still sitting down, and (2) when someone else in the building flushes the shower partially looses cold water press and you can get momentarily scalded if you have the water set for very hot.

9. None of that made up for the stained walls, lousy drains, bath nobs that were more of a workout to maneuver than ever should be - and my favorite - holes in the shower curtains.

10. They weren't dealbreakers for us, because it was just a place to sleep and shower, but if you are going to be spending a lot of time in your room, you might want to look elsewhere.
