Negative Reviews
negative:
Annexe not as impressive as main house
Guests are commonly wowed by the main house but are not so impressed by the annexe. The same level of grandeur is not in place. Plus, the guests who stayed in the annexe are typically the ones who described their room as too small.
negative:
Food and drink is pricey for some
A number of guests, while commenting favourably about the standard of the food, mention that they found the prices a little steep. Since this hotel is targeted at corporate guests, there's a sense that the prices are aimed at those guests with expense accounts.
negative:
Occasional technical issues
Several reviews suggest that guests occasionally encounter some technical issues. Those reported include a lack of channels available on the TVs, a poor Wi-Fi signal and virtually non-existent mobile phone coverage.
