Negative Reviews
negative:
No Customary breakfast offered.
As previously mentioned the property features a large communal kitchen where guests are able to prepare their own meals and snacks. This effectively means that, unlike the usual complimentary or paid breakfast options available at other types of accommodation, there is no such offer available here which could be disappointing to some.
negative:
Poor water pressure issues.
A common complaint among guests involves the lack of sufficient water pressure for most to enjoy an effective shower as the water pressure is often too low to provide a satisfying experience. This water pressure situation is most likely worsened during peak periods when more guests are using showers at the same time.
negative:
No onsite parking.
The property does not feature its own onsite free self-parking area and the only other secure alternative unfortunately is a nearby paid parking structure which can be quite expensive.
