- Bathroom hygiene: Renovated bathrooms are spotless; older ones have reports of worn grout and 'tired' tiles.
- Maintenance: The biggest issue. Peeling paint and worn carpets in hallways are common complaints due to the building's age.
- Linens & towels: Crisp and clean. No major complaints about bedding hygiene.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh (Floris scents), but some hallways can smell musty or old.
