Negative Reviews
negative:
Extra costs
Although this hotel does offer some freebies (namely Wi-Fi and an airport shuttle service), previous guests have not been all that impressed by having to pay extras for essentials such as breakfast and parking. While the charges for these are not necessarily excessive, they will certainly add up over a longer stay.
negative:
Awkward parking situation
Guests have reported that the parking situation at the hotel is fairly awkward. Not only do you have to pay extra for the convenience, the access to the hotel rooms requires a fair bit of walking and two elevator rides, often with luggage in tow.
negative:
Some maintenance issues
The rooms at this hotel have been recently renovated but it seems that the work carried out was largely cosmetic. Guests report maintenance issues such as noisy air-conditioning units, cracked tiles in the bathrooms, and loose fixtures such as towel rails.
