confusing layout dated decor
The room layout was indeed a maze. It was quite easy to get disoriented when trying to find my way back to the room, involving multiple elevators. The decor seemed rather dated. I also thought the heater was underperforming given how chilly it was. The room was also dark. The lighting could have been better.
