Parking-related problems
Guests haven’t been all that impressed with the lack of a self-parking option at this hotel, finding the daily charge for the valet parking on the high side. Guests have also found the valet parking rather inconvenient when wanting to take their car out.
negative:
Overcrowding issues
Reviews of this hotel are fairly limited to date so it’s possible that this is not going to be a regular issue. However, guests have mentioned that when the hotel is full, front desk services run slowly.
negative:
Occasional issues
Any other issues here are very occasional and are likely due to teething problems as opposed to anything more persistent. The issues reported include low water pressure and slow Wi-Fi although not all guests have experienced these problems.
