Negative Reviews
negative:
No television inside the rooms
Although it was clearly stated on their Website, some of the guests were quite disappointed with the lack of television provided inside the rooms. This lack of in-room television can be uncomfortable especially for those who have to go to the lounge just to watch, and for those who have kids.
negative:
Poor sound insulation in rooms
Most negative reviews are pertaining to the poor soundproofing of the rooms. Guests can hear loud footsteps due to the squeaky floor boards, toilet flush from other rooms, dogs barking, and loud noises from kids within the hall which make it hard for guests to get some sleep.
negative:
Central heating circulation problems
Guests are quite uncomfortable with the lack of enough heating circulation inside the rooms especially at night or during cold weather. Some guests are upset when heaters work only on the first day, which requires some serious adjustment on their end.
