Negative Reviews
negative:
Subway is too far away for some
While many guests say that they like the location of the hotel and find places to eat only a short walk away, it was too far from the subway station for others who found the 15-minute walk inconvenient.
negative:
Décor may benefit from updating
You might
find that the hotel's look and feel would be improved if the decoration was
refreshed in places. Some guests said that their rooms looked a shade tired and
a bit outdated.
negative:
Not enough space for breakfast
While guests are happy with breakfast overall, and appreciative of the ‘Western' options that are available, they say space is limited for the number of guests who want to eat. Tables which are free may have dirty things on as staff are slow the clear the tables who have finished.
