Negative Reviews
negative:
Wi-Fi is Lacking
Not only does
Wi-Fi require an additional fee, but guests have also found that the signal is
mediocre at best. You may want to make other arrangements to get online if you
need to work or connect with friends during your stay here.
negative:
Parking is Extra
Guests were a
bit dismayed to find that parking also requires an additional fee. If you're
travelling with a vehicle, you'll need to plan to pay for parking at the facility,
or park at a location offsite.
negative:
A/C Could be Stronger
It's been
reported that the air conditioning could use some improvement, as many guests
felt that it did not cool their rooms sufficiently.
