Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms That Face the Road Are Noisy
If you are a light sleeper, consider asking to be put into a room that is not along the roadway. Guests were frequently disturbed by the sounds of passing traffic, but usually clarified it did not completely prevent them from getting rest. You might want to bring some earplugs, just to be on the safe side.
negative:
Uncomfortable Beds
This property features beds that are supposed have adjustments within the mattress so you can select how firm or soft you want the bed to be. However, many guests commented that they could not get the adjustment knob to work, and that the beds seemed to be locked in a perpetual setting of extreme firmness.
negative:
Breakfast Costs Too Much
If you plan to eat breakfast here, be aware that the overall cost may be more than you expect. That was the sentiment expressed by many guests, who said the price was high.
