Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast had little choices available
Guests were disappointed with the hotel’s breakfast as almost every morning they were served with the same spread. As a result they felt it became monotonous and lacked variety. Many wished for more choices to be made available in order to fully enjoy the breakfast.
negative:
Weak and unstable Wi-Fi connection
At times using the hotel’s Wi-Fi can be a frustrating browsing experience as the signal is very weak. The signal at times is unpredictable. In most guestrooms, connecting to it was pretty hard.
negative:
Mattress and pillows were uncomfortable
The comfort levels of the mattresses and pillows were wanting. Many felt they didn’t provide much comfort as they were too firm. As a result, sleeping was quite uncomfortable especially for those with sensitive backs and stiff necks.
