negative:
Breakfast quality varies
Feedback about the breakfast here tends to vary. It appears that the selection of items on the menu changes from day to day. This would typically be a good thing for stays over a few days long. However, guests have reported that the quality also varies.
negative:
Some maintenance concerns
Although this hotel is typically found to be clean and comfortable, guests do highlight some maintenance issues. Aside from a dated look, reported problems include slow draining water in the bathrooms and poorly fitting doors (that lead to internal noise issues).
negative:
Limited fitness equipment
Guests who wanted to exercise during their stay mention that they found the fitness room small with a limited range of equipment on offer. Guests can also access an off-site facility but this is not as convenient.
