Small bathrooms
There have been complaints about the size of the bathrooms at this property. Guests have said that the bathrooms are very small and cramped, so they don't leave a whole lot of room for getting ready in the morning. The showers are also quite small, making them difficult to enjoy.

Bad smell in rooms and halls
Past guests have complained about a bad smell that is present in many of the rooms and the hallways. These guests believe that this smell comes through the vents and that it smells similar to sewage. Guests have been forced to change rooms because of this smell.

A little tired looking
