Some guests thought their stay was ruined when the hotel's staff made no effort to accommodate their guests. When guests asked for help with reservations or with directions, there truly seemed to be no effort or willingness to ensure a pleasant stay. Some guests reported an indifference or outright denial of the staff to help.
The hotel areas were anything but bright and airy, as guests reported having a feeling of sadness when staying in a dark room with closed shutters. The breakfast room is also located in a cellar with no sunshine and difficult to find. The furnishings were not vibrant and just added to the dreadful feeling.
Some guests could not get over the fact the mattresses were so stiff they had a bad night's rest. The furnishings were very old-fashioned and the bathroom fittings needed a renovation. The rooms were found to be unclean as well, which really disappointed guests.
