“While the staff's friendliness is a plus, reports of malfunctioning heaters and thin doors that let in drafts raise concerns about comfort. I noticed mentions of a recent renovation that veered towards a clinical aesthetic, trading coziness for starkness. The combination of potential noise issues and extra parking fees seems misaligned with the overall value.”
