Negative Reviews
negative:
More maintenance needed in rooms; unpleasant views
Some guests say that the rooms need more maintenance as some of the closet doors scratch the floors at times and also get stuck. There are no views as most of the windows face the back of the building. Guests say the hotel did not have an iron and ironing board.
negative:
Shower door issues
In some bathrooms, the shower doors could not be closed resulting in flooding. Guests say they had to use towels to soak up the water. The issue was not resolved for the whole length of their stay.
negative:
Expensive parking and cramped space
Guests say that though secure, the parking at the hotel is expensive. It is also cramped and guests have got their cars scratched as the cars are parked much too closely.
