    Negative Reviews

    negative:

    Location may not suit everyone

    While there are plenty of positive points about this hotel, a number of guests felt that the location could be better. The hotel is in a residential area near the hospital and the downtown/tourist area is a 40-minute walk from the property. On the plus side, there is a trolley service that stops near the hotel.

    negative:

    Some rooms are small

    Although the rooms offer an impressive standard of accommodation, some guests do comment that they found the rooms were a little on the small side. The problem seems mainly due to too much furniture placed in the rooms.

    negative:

    Some noise issues

    Several guests mention that they found this hotel was a little noisy, although it does seem to depend on how many guests are staying in the property at the time. Also, there appears to be some construction work going on nearby, although this will presumably finish at some point.
