Negative Reviews
negative:
Older and worn
The hotel is an older building and is in need of repairs. The decor is dated throughout and the rooms feel well-used and worn to the point of being tired-looking. The TVs are small and old and none of features or fixtures are modern.
negative:
Breaking the sound barrier
Since this is a budget choice, there is no soundproofing features between the rooms. You'll be able to easily hear your neighbors, from their conversations to their TV channel choices. Inside your room, the ventilation system is also quite loud. If none of that bothers you, be prepared for another noise that is impossible to control. The hotel is on the flight path to a local airport and air traffic can easily be heard throughout the days and nights.
negative:
Wide-eyed and awake
While the room provides convenience and general comfort, the mattresses are a different story. They are terribly hard and very uncomfortable unless you like sleeping on stiff beds. Also, the bedding and pillows are thin and substandard. Instead of slipping into a restful sleep, you might be wide-eyed and awake all night.
