Negative Reviews
negative:
Can be a noisy hotel
This hotel is based on a central courtyard layout with rooms facing the courtyard. The pool is located in this courtyard and is open until 10:30 pm so there will obviously be guests swimming and children playing games until quite a late hour that has proved to be an inconvenience to guests wanting a good night sleep.
negative:
Some administration flaws
Guests who have checked in with large groups have complained that the rooms they were assigned were not directly next to each other or weren't even on the same floor. Obviously this cannot be the case every time a big booking is made but as much as the hotel can, it should place guests of one party next to each other.
negative:
Slow Wi-Fi not fit for business guests
This hotel does offer free Wi-Fi however there have been complaints that its speed is nothing to boast about, especially for guests expecting to do business at the hotel using the internet.
