positive:
Very quiet property
This hotel is outside of the city's centre and, therefore, it is very quiet. Guests have commented that the soundproofing must be very good because they couldn't hear anyone in the halls or other rooms throughout their stays.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Not enough lighting
Guests have found the rooms at this hotel to be very dark because there isn't enough lighting. This caused guests to feel uncomfortable in their rooms, as they couldn't see what they were doing and felt as though the rooms were quite gloomy.
negative:
No on-site restaurant at night
Although there is a restaurant at this property, it closes very early. This left guests having to travel into town to eat dinner and although the city is close, guests would have preferred to eat right at the hotel.
negative:
Issues with the Jacuzzi
Numerous guests have experienced issues with the jacuzzi tubs that are present in many of the rooms at this property. Guests have said that they couldn't get these tubs to work at all, while others were disappointed by how small they are. In other cases, guests have reported that the jets would randomly turn on.
