Negative Reviews
negative:
Difficult to manoeuvre in car park
The car park is tight with narrow and at times limited parking spots. Even though staff members are willing to come out and assist you, parking your own car can be a hassle.
negative:
The hotel's beds are at times quite uncomfortable
A number of guests have complained about their mattresses being too soft and their pillows too flat and hard. As such, those with sensitive backs were the most affected.
negative:
Limited Wi-Fi in rooms and public spaces
Though the hotel provides its guests with free Wi-Fi internet access, some were disappointed to find that the Wi-Fi signal did not perform as advertised. At times the signal quality wasn't good as some had hitches connecting to it.
