Negative Reviews
negative:
Disappointing game room
Do not expect much from the hotel's game room. It only consists of a small area with a ping-pong table and a foosball table. There is also a Wii Play Area, which is literally a table with a TV in the center, and nothing more. However, there are other amenities in and around the hotel, which you can enjoy.
negative:
Slow service at the restaurant
The food at the restaurant is awesome, but many guests complained about its slow service. Moreover, some of the staff there aren't very accommodating to children and the handicapped. If you can't stand this issue, there are a lot of dining options around the area.
negative:
Thin walls allow noise to enter
You may hear noise from the nearby road, or airplanes landing and taking-off. The walls of the rooms are thin and you might hear sound of TV or conversation from adjacent rooms. If this bothers you, you can always ask for a room replacement.
