carpet stainbroken ice machine
I found the cleanliness lacking. There was this suspicious stain on the carpet, I hope it wasn't what it looked like. the elevators seemed slow. I swear, I aged a year waiting for one. The broken ice machine on my floor only added to the charm, if you can call it that. It was like a scavenger hunt to find ice.
