Negative Reviews
negative:
Parking costs extra
Several guests were unhappy about having to pay a daily charge for on-site parking. The rates at the hotel are not exactly budget, so there is a general feeling that the facility should be included in the cost.
negative:
Some complaints about internal noise
Although many guests specifically comment that they found the rooms and suites offered a quiet stay, others found the walls a bit thin. The problem seems to mostly affect rooms located near the elevator, so it might be best to avoid those if possible.
negative:
Infrequent complaints
Overall, feedback about this hotel is favorable. Any truly negative comments are few and far between and those that are less than complimentary typically relate to minor problems such as a broken electrical outlet or queues for breakfast when the hotel is busy.
