8/10 Good
"I didn't like the fact that I needed to stick the rooom key into a slot on the wall in order to turn on the lights because that meant that I was not able to see where I was going when I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night (unless I wanted to sleep with the lights on, which I didn't)."
