Major design issues with renovation

We were prepared for the small room, which didn't bother us, which just acted as if we were in Japan. The location & employees are great. The morning buffet was nice. However 3 problems we had were: the floor is wavy in a way that we could not figure out unless the subfloor is rotted with new laminate over it. This could be a major hazard if you are unstable and prone to falls, especially when getting up in the night. (others reported the same floor issue in their room) ; the doors have auto-closures that closed them so firmly that they slammed. This is a problem if others on your floor come in late at night or leave early in the morning as the slamming wakes you ; the AC seemed to turn up or stop while sleeping which may be due to something that looked like a motion detector on the thermostat, which will not trigger if you are sleeping. We did not report these to the very nice staff as these are design flaws and nothing they could correct. No reason to move to another room as it seemed to be the same thing throughout the property. Also a little shelf or two in the bathroom would help. This is the first time I recall leaving a low rating but these things, especially the non-level floors really need to be re-designed.

Hotel exterior and interior lobby was very well maintained. The room was shockingly small. The floor was a bit in despair, had a big dip in it between the bed and the bathroom door. Bathroom was a good size and was clean. Decent view out of the window. Bed was comfortable.
