Negative Reviews
negative:
Loud air-conditioning
Unfortunately, some guests report that the air-conditioning units in their rooms are old and can prove to be noisy, which disrupts a good night's sleep. Those who still need the air-conditioning to cool the room during the night might want to keep a pair of earplugs handy.
negative:
Spotty Wi-Fi
There are some reports of the Wi-Fi signal in the rooms not being very strong, so those guests who want to work during their stay will probably want to bring a mobile Wi-Fi stick along or use a different area of the hotel.
negative:
Somewhat outdated
While the rooms in the hotel are all generally clean and comfortable, some guests find that the furnishings are outdated and could do with a spruce-up. Others also say that the lobby and breakfast room areas are little on the rundown side of things, too.
