Negative Reviews
negative:
Small rooms showing wear and tear
According to the general consensus, the size of some of the rooms was considered to be limited in terms of space. Furthermore, the rooms have been described at times as somewhat dated and showing signs of distress in certain areas.
negative:
Wi-Fi range below par
Previous guests that used the amenity were typically left dissatisfied about the quality of the Wi-Fi supplied by the hotel. In particular, the range of the Wi-Fi was criticised, with it said on numerous occasions that it could not be accessed on higher floors of the building.
negative:
Limited on-site parking spaces
Although there are a small number of spaces provided, it has been noted that the accommodation’s parking lot was not always adequate – especially during the peak season. As a result, it was sometimes necessary for former visitors to make use of nearby public parking lots.
