Negative Reviews
negative:
Not the most modern decor..
Though many guests describe the rooms as comfortable, some also describe the decor and furnishings as a bit "worn" and "dated." A few also find the rooms dark.
negative:
Smoking rooms still available..
Non-smoking guests forced to accept a smoking room generally report a very uncomfortable stay due to the lingering odor. Another small group has had housekeeping oversights to report.
negative:
A matter of taste..
Most guests find something to like at the complimentary breakfast, and some also note the dining area could be expanded to better accommodate all the hungry travelers. A smaller group has concerns about the food quality, quantity, or variety.
