Negative Reviews
negative:
No Air Conditioner
Guests staying during the warmest months of the year were often those that found the lack of air conditioning most noticeable. Fans are provided in each room, but sometimes guests said those were welcome, yet not sufficient.
negative:
Lots of Street Noise
Guests remarked that the windows do not work well for shielding sounds, which meant that some of them were kept awake by passing traffic. A pair of earplugs may help you compensate if you usually are a light sleeper.
negative:
The Property Lacks a Lift
Be aware that this property does not have a lift, and some guests were placed in rooms that were up a few flights of stairs. They commented that staff members were able to assist with luggage, but often struggled if they had mobility problems.
