Negative Reviews
negative:
Low shower pressure, loud AC, dirty floors
By all accounts, there appear to be issues at this hotel with the water pressure. Unfortunately, many guests reported very low pressure - regardless of the floor they were on - throughout their stays. While many also commented that the in-room air conditioning units are rather loud, others were troubled by the dirt and dust they found on the hardwood floors of their rooms.
negative:
Basic amenities and bare walls
For some, the minimalist esthetic of this property is perfect. If, however, you are hoping for more in terms of amenities, this hotel experience may be just a little too basic. Many guests noted the lack of an iron in their rooms while others would have welcomed an ice machine. Some also commented that the bare walls of this property could really do with a bit more decoration.
negative:
Parking problems
Yes, the parking is free here. However, some guests were uncomfortable with the underground arrangements while others felt that space was disappointingly limited.
