The hotel’s elevator is tiny and old
A number of guests have expressed their concerns regarding the elevator which they find to be in need of servicing or total replacement. Due to its relatively small in size, it can get cramped inside as it could only handle a few people at a time. At times, guests couldn’t access the lift as it was out of service.
