Maintenance could be improved
Although the rooms here are generally described as clean, they don’t entirely escape criticism. Many guests have mentioned that maintenance could be improved, citing dated decor and furnishings, stained carpets, and poorly performed repairs.
negative:
Grounds need attention
The lack of proper maintenance in this hotel appears to continue into the grounds of the property, which guests have noted as looking run down and less than inviting. In particular, you should take care when using the concrete steps. Due to a lack of cleaning, these become slippery when wet.
negative:
Smoke related issues
Guests often note that this hotel smells of smoke, even in rooms that are supposedly non-smoking. Also, guests who have specifically requested non-smoking rooms have found other evidence of previous smoking - such as burn holes in the bedding.
