Extra costs add up
Although guests tend to find the room rates at the hotel are reasonable, there is some discontent regarding the extra costs. Wi-Fi is provided free, but you'll pay extra for breakfast. Plus, there is no free parking available. Instead, you'll have to pay a daily valet parking fee if you want to park on-site.

Some housekeeping issues
Not every guest is all that impressed with the housekeeping service. Amenities such as towels and toiletries sometimes go unreplaced and bed sheets are not changed. Plus, guests comment that the housekeeping staff ignore do not disturb signs and knock loudly on doors.
negative:
Maintenance issues in rooms
Aside from the occasionally poor housekeeping service, guests also report some maintenance issues in the rooms. These include rattling air-conditioning units, missing light bulbs, and threadbare carpets. Guests also mention that the walls between rooms are thin.
