Negative Reviews
negative:
Lousy Room Service
Some guests who ordered room service felt that the standard of food delivered was very below par and not what they had come to expect of a four star hotel. Similarly some guests who ordered the take away breakfast boxes and packed lunches commented that there were left under-whelmed by the basic food provided.
negative:
Some Renovation Required
Some guests did not think that the decor was up to the standard that they had come to expect of the price paid for their stay and their comments suggested that some renovation and updating to the decor, in particular the bathrooms would greatly improve the hotel's amenity.
negative:
Housekeeping Needs Some Attention
Some guest reviewers left less than favorable comments about the service that they received from housekeeping which they felt was quite poor. Some previous guests to the hotel told of how sheets and linens were not changed over during stays of two or more days and how they needed to consistently request daily cleaning services.
