Standard room features include a wardrobe, desk and chair, carpeted flooring, heating, and a fan for cooling. Bathrooms are shared, with the shower floor flush to the rest of the floor and a shower curtain rather than a full enclosure. Some rooms have an in-room sink. Rooms are equipped with an AM/FM alarm clock and hi-fi, but no television or telephone. Space can be limited; some rooms are described as small with no bedside tables or room to open luggage. The building is older and carpet may show wear. Soundproofing is minimal, so street and corridor noise can be audible.
