Many Amenities Cost Extra
Sometimes, guests were disappointed to find out that things like breakfast, parking and Wi-Fi access come at extra charges. If you plan to use those perks, be sure to allow some room in your budget accordingly.
negative:
Soundproofing is Poor
Guests noted they were frequently distracted by noises outside their rooms that were usually caused by fellow hotel occupants. With that in mind, you may want to pack some earplugs to ensure restful sleep.
negative:
Some Guests Didn't Like the Atrium-Facing Rooms
There are rooms in the property with windows that are oriented to look out onto the indoor atrium, rather than outdoor scenery. Guests occasionally said those rooms seemed to lack privacy, since it made them feel exposed to people who were in the atrium. Furthermore, when guests closed the curtains to get privacy, that sometimes caused claustrophobia.
