Negative Reviews
negative:
Firm beds make sleep uncomfortable
Most of the previous guests prefer softer ones for the reason that the beds or mattresses provided in the rooms are too firm for their liking. As a result, guests had a hard time getting some decent sleep.
negative:
Mediocre breakfast offering
Due to the limited breakfast, guests were quite disappointed! The breakfast area was also too small so guests had a hard time getting their own spot just to have breakfast. Therefore, guests are advised to check out nearby restaurants such as Bennett's Pit Bar-B-Que.
negative:
Various bathroom issues
Guests had issues with the lack of enough water pressure on the showers. The bathroom area was also not clean, shower head was too low, power outlets were closely situated to the sink which can be quite dangerous. Moreover, water was hardly warm so guests had a hard time taking a nice shower.
