Negative Reviews
negative:
Far from attractions and restaurants
The location is far from everything- no stores or decent restaurants in the immediate area. To go to anywhere interesting, guests had to hire a cab for quite an expensive fare. It is also located in the middle of the business area and the old part of the town, which is quite difficult to locate.
negative:
Some rooms have no Wi-Fi access
While there is free Wi-Fi, it is most of the time unusable. The speed was unreliable, and the signal fluctuates often. Many guests were unable to access their e-mail and social media accounts using the hotel's free Internet service.
negative:
Ineffective soundproofing system
Guests have complained that they were able to hear the conversation and movements of the other guests staying on the rooms above theirs. Those guests who were sensitive to noise were especially inconvenienced by this issue.
