Negative Reviews
negative:
Pricey valet parking service
Parking in the hotel garage could be expensive. Guests have also reported that the valet parking service offered by the hotel does not appear to be very efficient. However, there are a lot of spaces and parking options just around the hotel.
negative:
Slow service at the restaurant
While the quality of food and the live Jazz music are loved by many guests, many still complained about the slow service at the hotel's restaurant. There's a limited space for everyone. In addition, you would have to wait for ten to 15 minutes until your orders are served.
negative:
Walls are quite thin
You could hear other guests in the hallway loudly and clearly. You can especially hear doors opening and closing, which could be a problem if you are a light sleeper. When you experience this issue, do not hesitate to request for a room replacement.
