Negative Reviews
negative:
Small bathrooms
Guests often comment that they found the bathrooms very small - so small that there is little counter space to store toiletries and personal items. A number of guests also state that cleanliness could be improved in the bathrooms.
negative:
Minor maintenance issues
While the hotel is not exactly falling apart, there are some minor maintenance issues to contend with. Many guests simply feel that the property could do with a lick of paint but other report specific concerns such as torn wallpaper, stained carpet, and poorly repaired holes in walls.
negative:
Regular issues with air-conditioning
Feedback suggests that there are regular issues with the air-conditioning. Some guests found the units performed poorly while others had no air for their entire stay. The time between guests who report this issue indicates that it is an on-going problem.
