Negative Reviews
negative:
Expensive Wi-Fi and parking
Free Wi-Fi is provided in the lobby but not in the rooms. Some guest however were unable to access the free Wi-Fi. Many guests felt that in-room was expensive and also questioned the reasoning behind this as free Wi-Fi is a basic requirement expected from hotels these days. Parking was also found to be too expensive.
negative:
Inhospitable staff
Some guests commented that the customer service, particularly at the front desk, was poor and in need of attention. At times guests have been given incorrect information about their hotel booking. Staff members can also be aloof and seemingly indifferent as special needs and requests made by guests are not always addressed in a respectful manner.
negative:
Not value for money
Some guests, including repeat guests at the Marriott chain of hotels, commented that the quality of service does not match the price of the hotel. The decor is old and needs updated. Some of the rooms are quite small and at times the rooms are not thoroughly cleaned.
