Negative Reviews
negative:
Noise Travels
It’s been reported that noise from other
guests travels easily throughout the hotel. Many guests suspect that there is
lack of adequate insulation, as guests in the hallways as well as in other
rooms can be heard easily.
negative:
Minimal Breakfasts
The complimentary continental breakfasts
are a bit sparse, according to guests. You may find that there are only minimal
options in the morning, so don’t plan on having a full cooked meal on premises
each morning.
negative:
Showers Need Hand Rail
Guests have found that the shower seems a
bit dangerous. Many have mentioned that there isn’t a bathmat, making the
shower floor too slippery, and the absence of a handrail further complicates
the situation. Take extra care getting in and out of the shower during your
stay here.
