Limited shuttle hours
Guests note that the hotel’s airport shuttle service is not a 24-hour service. This has presented some problems for guests who have arrived outside of service hours.
negative:
Paper cups in the rooms
Given the overall standards on offer here, guests are surprised to find that the coffee cups in the rooms are of the paper variety. While not a huge concern, these cups have seemed out of place and cheap.
negative:
Some noise concerns
Guests have occasionally reported that the in-room air-conditioning units are noisy. As this issue has not affected all guests, it seems that this could be down to a lack of maintenance in some rooms. A number of guests have also experienced some noise from delivery trucks attending to local stores.
