Wi-Fi could be improved
Feedback about the Wi-Fi indicates that this amenity may prove disappointing. Guests have reported that the Wi-Fi was slow or that they couldn't get online at all throughout their stay.

Value for money could be better
Guests do tend to find the rooms here are on the expensive side. This, coupled with the lack of maid services, the extra charge for shuttle services, and the absence of an on-site dining option, has led some to question whether they enjoyed good value for money here.
