Negative Reviews
negative:
Some noise
A number of reviews mention noise as a negative aspect of this prospect. Despite the downtown location, its not so much external noise you will need to worry about, but rather internal noise. It seems this hotel is no stranger to groups of party-goers.
negative:
Breakfast may disappoint
Although the breakfast is offered free, some guests found it lacking. It appears that many of the available items run out fairly quickly, so you'll need to be an early bird if you fancy a piece of fruit. Also, the dining area is so small that you may want to take breakfast back to your room.
negative:
Minor housekeeping concerns
While it sounds like the housekeeping team do an okay job of keeping rooms clean and tidy, some things appear to be occasionally missed. A few guests comment that coffee and tea supplies were not replenished while others found themselves continually asking for fresh towels.
