Guests complain that there are strange odours coming from the hotel’s interior, even in rooms. Musty smells of mould, as well as the smell of sewage seem to invade guest accommodations and are difficult to clear out.

While the hotel is generally clean, guests felt that some areas needed attention. For example, stained carpets, towels and bedding need replacement. Bedding and room décor are dated.

Some guests loved the complimentary breakfast spread, while others were left wanting more. The variety and quality of the offerings get mixed reviews, and usually there’s a crowd, so the wait staff can easily be overwhelmed.
