Negative Reviews
negative:
On the wrong side of the tracks...
Guests in rooms closest to the nearby train tracks were disturbed by the noise. While the gated entry to the building made some guests feel safe, it just made others wonder about the neighbourhood, which was recently rejuvenated with the investment in Olympic Park.
negative:
Pricey extras...
Several guests were irritated by the additional charge for the sofa bed, which most do not find very comfortable. Others were displeased with the charge for parking.
negative:
Don't show up too early...
Some guests were unpleasantly surprised by the extra charge for checking in early, while others found the security deposit to be unusually high. Several guests commented that the reception area fills up quickly when there is a queue.
