The locker room has been described as excessively hot, with shower temperature control problems persisting over weeks. Some visitors reported broken locker locks and a lack of attentive front desk staff. The building is older, and despite renovations, the showers remain a common complaint, with mold and inconsistent water temperature. Management responsiveness has been questioned.
