I had a problem entering the code to get into the bldg after hours. Another guest was there as well and it took us up to 5 minutes to enter the code on the keypad. I see in other posts that other guests have had the same issue. This needs to be addressed ASAP as with homeless living on the street nearby it was not safe standing there that long.
