Negative Reviews
negative:
Noisy- situated along a busy street
The property is located on a busy street, and guests staying in rooms near the road are often disturbed by the road noise even early in the morning. This property may not be advisable for light sleepers, as the property do not provide earplugs.
negative:
Inefficient Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi signal in the individual rooms was slow, which irritated many guests. Although they were able to connect to the Wi-Fi, they had problems surfing the web. Most of them had to go to the front desk just to access the Internet.
negative:
Bar & Restaurant are closed on Holidays
Previous guests were also disappointed after finding out that the on-site restaurant was closed during their stay there. The hotel's bar and restaurant were closed during Holidays, which was bad news for those who wanted to try their delectable dishes.
