- The renovated rooms are nice, especially the bathrooms. But there are problems. One example is the light switch. They installed some kind of intelligent system where the same button switches on all the lights, a second press switches off a few of the lights, a third press switches off more lights and the forth everything on again - except that some random lights seem to stay on. It will take a while to get the room dark at night. (This in addition to all the lights coming on randomly, that problem went away after a technician resetted the system
- They replaced the workdesk with a round table which is less good for working. In theory you could use this as a dining table, but there is no second chair high enough for the table.
