Already Renovating
While guests enjoyed their rooms overall, some thought that the building overall needs mild renovations. Some of the rooms appear dated, with worn carpets, fixtures in need of repair. In addition, a few guests found the beds and pillows a tad uncomfortable. Fortunately, some rooms have already been updated and others are soon to be done.
negative:
Basic Breakfast
The complimentary breakfast selection is a bit limited and light. Guests say it is great to have something light to wake up with, but don’t expect it to be a filling meal.

Missing Microwaves
Some guests found it inconvenient that there was no microwave in their rooms, but guests can utilize the one in the breakfast area if necessary.
