Lingering smoky smells and cleaning product odours were off-putting for travellers in certain rooms. It was also claimed some hallways could have been better cleaned. Maintenance and cleanliness issues like stained bedding, fuzzy TV reception, ineffective air-conditioning units and malfunctioning key-cards also bothered critics in some rooms.

There was criticism of the way this property charged guests a small additional fee for using its Wi-Fi network. Some critics also claimed the signal was spotty in several rooms.

Several reviewers were disappointed that the no frills format meant there weren't little extras provided in the rooms like shampoo, microwaves, fridges and hairdryers. The lack of breakfast also displeased some visitors.
