The toilet in my room was dripping constantly, and would periodically sound like it was flushing itself. It woke me up.

It was hard to sleep. In the evening, everyone who left or entered a room slammed their door. The doors were very hard to close quietly. In the morning, the boss was in the hall with a walkie-talkie communicating very loudly outside our doorway. In addition, the sheets were rough and scratchy.

Next time I ask for a room on the third or fourth floor spare me the perfunctory response, especially when the place is deserted on a Saturday night. Plus the shower water pressure is low enough to be talked about. Nonetheless, the rooms are comfortable, housekeeping does a good job and the buffet breakfast is good. Plus you’re on Queens university campus which is a nice touch if your kid goes there.
