Negative Reviews
negative:
A rather shabby on-site restaurant
Reviews often refer to the on-site restaurant in a negative light, particularly when making mention of customer service, or lack thereof. Guests also feel that the price of the food at this hotel, for what is received, is a little too high.
negative:
Not exactly a cheap stay
When guests have compared this hotel to other hotels in the area, this hotel is not exactly the cheapest. Although it is not exorbitant, guests believe that what is offered elsewhere is better and is not much more expensive than this hotel, and is sometimes even cheaper.
negative:
Rooms give an outdated impression
Although the lobby has been refurbished and upgraded, guests have not been too impressed with other parts at this hotel. For instance, the rooms are outdated, the decor is old and some of the features, like the curtains and carpets, are in need of replacing.
