Not the Safest Neighbourhood
Guests say that the neighbourhood surrounding this hotel appears a bit rough and on the sketchy side. Many guests report not feeling very safe staying at this hotel, especially if you need to go out and about anywhere at night and after dark.
negative:
Breakfast Service Quite Disappointing
The breakfast served at this hotel leaves much to be desired. Although it is complimentary, there is nonetheless a very limited selection of items served. They can't even get the coffee right, as guests say it's extremely watered down. The presentation also leaves a lot to be desired. Guests say you are much better off exploring other options nearby.
