slow elevatorlacking cleanliness
The elevator service proved unreliable. Only one elevator worked, and it was quite slow. this caused unnecessary delays. additionally, i found the cleanliness lacking in certain areas (i noticed dust accumulation in corners). the room showed signs of wear and tear. Maintenance is definitely needed.
