This room was good fun and the twist of being split up made it a bit different. I would say, in response to other comments, that if the two separate teams aren't constantly communicating and working together to try to rescue the ones that are locked up then they aren't doing it right and will struggle. The GM was clear about this before we went in and didn't need to get involved over the radio. There was plenty to do for both teams when they are communicating well.

Definitely one of the harder rooms I've played - we made it out, but barely.
I found the initial section frustrating, in a way that could be significantly improved with better technology - I won't go into details since it could be considered a minor spoiler. A couple of the puzzles later on had answers that struck me as a little arbitrary, too, although still solvable without hints.
That said, it's an unusually large room packed with puzzles, decent atmosphere, and apart from the caveats above...
