Negative Reviews
negative:
Terrible Wi-Fi connection
Most of the negative reviews were focused on the poor Wi-Fi. The Internet was very unstable so guests were not able to connect properly especially inside the rooms or at the upper floors. Guests can only access the Internet in the lobby area which was very difficult especially for business travellers.
negative:
Malfunctioning air-conditioning unit
Guests had issues with the poorly functional air-conditioning inside the rooms, as most units were not working property. It was mostly hot inside the rooms since the air-conditioning units were not enough to cool the place, and there was no fan available as option.
negative:
Relatively small rooms
The exact layout and size of the rooms were quite small according to most guests. Thus, some had to upgrade their rooms from standard to superior double or deluxe rooms for a more comfortable size and view.
