Not the best restaurant choices
This hotel features only one on-site restaurant option that is open for breakfast and dinner. Guests would have like to see a bigger range of dining areas to choose from without having to leave the hotel. There are however a few alternative restaurants that are within walking distance from the hotel.
negative:
Noisy surroundings
There have been complaints that the lack of soundproofing in the hotel allows for the external street noises to enter the rooms causing guests to wake up. This can be a problem for guests who are awoken easily by loud noises.
negative:
Badly designed parking area
Although this hotel provides free on-site parking, there have been many issues with narrow parking bays and low ceiling spaces. Guests have also mentioned that the parking area is badly lit.
