Negative Reviews
negative:
Poor customer service
The staff are reception have been known to be unprofessional and unreliable. Requests for assistance or complaints about the hotel have been met with indifference and an unwillingness to be helpful or flexible. For this reason some guests did not feel like their needs mattered or that they were valued customers. Guests recommended you check the cancelation policies before booking as they are very strict.
negative:
Dirty and smoky rooms
The hotel offers smoking and non-smoking rooms, however the distinction is sometimes unclear as guests who booked non-smoking rooms have complained that their rooms smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. Cleanliness also needs attention as the rooms and bathrooms have been described as dirty and not always cleaned thoroughly between guest bookings.
negative:
Poor breakfast experience
A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily which some guests found to be unpalatable. Others reported that the offering was limited in variety and that the atmosphere in the basement breakfast room was dark and dingy.
