Negative Reviews
negative:
The Wi-Fi Signal is Intermittent
Many guests had trouble getting online while staying at the hotel. Despite the facility having free Wi-Fi service, the connection is often intermittent and slow. So, you shouldn't plan to be able to work online when you stay there.
negative:
Breakfasts Are Inconsistent
Several guests said that hot breakfasts are served
sometimes, but other days there is only a buffet-style breakfast. Many of them
said that the food quality and selection also varies from day to day. So,
eating breakfast at the hotel could be a bit of a gamble.
negative:
Every Sound Can be Easily Heard
One of the biggest complaints guests have about this hotel is that any noise is amplified. Guests reported hearing the heating coming on at night, plumbing noises, squeaky floorboards, other guests snoring, and even music being played in other rooms. So, you may need to wear earplugs to bed.
