Negative Reviews

A Dated Property
Numerous comments reflected the opinion that this property is very out of date and unappealing. Although renovations are ongoing, some guests were displeased enough to admit they were not likely to return to check out the updates.
negative:
Rooms Are Not Universally Clean
Feedback suggests the housekeeping staff here need more thorough training. For example, some guests said their rooms were very clean, but more frequently, it seemed housekeeping missed several things while cleaning the rooms, making guests feel uneasy about staying in the accommodations.
negative:
The Sleep Number Beds Are a Detriment
This property offers some rooms with adjustable Sleep Number beds as a supposed perk. However, many guests complained that the beds malfunctioned much more often than they functioned properly. As a result, many people woke up feeling very sore and upset.
