Not the best breakfast
There have been complaints about the quality of the food at breakfast, as guests have found it cheap and unappealing. In addition, the room in which breakfast is served is very small and this has left guests without anywhere to sit while they eat.

Issues with the elevator
Guests have run into problems with the elevator at this property. There have been times when the elevator has been slow to reach guests and this is likely because there is only one elevator for the entire hotel. In addition, guests have said that the floor in the elevator is dirty and stained.
negative:
Difficult to find
There is another hotel that has a similar name right behind this property and, therefore, guests have found it difficult to find at first.
