Negative Reviews
negative:
Wafer-thin walls
Guests had privacy issues concerning the wafer-thin walls. They feared that their conversation can be heard by people from neighbouring rooms, for they reported that they were able to hear other people from outside as well.
negative:
Skimpy décor and atmosphere
Many guests did not find the decor of the property beautiful. They said that the design did not appeal to their taste, and used the words skimpy and odd instead. There were also guests who complained that their rooms were too dark from both the lighting and the decorations.
negative:
Weak Wi-Fi service
The advertised free Wi-Fi was useless as guests complained that they were not able to connect to the Internet whether inside their rooms or in the lobby. The signal was too weak, and they had to find other places where there's a strong, reliable signal.
