Negative Reviews
negative:
Some rooms still need an update.
According to reports,
renovation work is ongoing at the motel. Guests point out that, while some
rooms have been fully-refurbished, others are still pending an upgrade. Common
criticisms of non-renovated rooms include outdated (and mismatched)
furnishings, well-worn carpets and other aesthetic shortcomings.
negative:
Compact bathrooms can be a little awkward.
Although many guests find their accommodations to be comfortable in general, the same cannot be said for en-suite bathrooms. Reports suggest that these bathrooms are very small, offering little room to manoeuvre. Additionally, a number of guests have been disappointed by the omission of a bathtub.
negative:
Road noise sometimes a concern.
A number of guests have complained of traffic noise during their stay at the motel. The property is located on a fairly busy street and, as a result, noise from passing vehicles inevitably filters through into rooms.
