According to several critics, it was sometimes a challenge to regulate the room temperature in some parts of the accommodation. Several disappointed diners claimed the free breakfast was short on fresh food items.

Maintenance issues like dated decor and cigarette burns bothered travellers in certain rooms as did cleanliness problems like insufficiently cleaned sheets plus crumbs and litter leftover from previous occupants. Lingering food smells and smoky odours were also off-putting for a few visitors. Some critics also suggested that pest control measures required improvement.

The free Wi-Fi service divided opinion among reviewers. Although many guests appreciated it, some critics claimed the network suffered from an unreliable signal.
