Negative Reviews
negative:
The Internet Access is Fee Based
Unless you are a member of the hotel's loyalty program, the Internet access comes at a cost. Many guests were not happy to find that out, especially since they said complimentary Internet access is an expected amenity these days. Some guests who chose to pay for the Internet also noted that the connection was unstable.
negative:
Noisy Air Conditioning Units
Although guests commented that the air conditioners do a good job of keeping the rooms cool, they said the units were very loud. If you are a person who is easily disturbed by noises while sleeping, you may want to pack a pair of earplugs.
negative:
The Property Looks a Bit Dated
You might feel that this hotel is showing its age. Although the appearance was not usually enough to make guests wish they had chosen to stay elsewhere, they did say the property could use some freshening up.
