Negative Reviews
negative:
Noise from the street at night
Since this hotel is in a central area, there is a fair amount of noise from the streets below. Guests have said that the windows appear to be single-paned, which is one reason for so much noise making its way into the rooms.
negative:
Inconvenient parking situation
There have been complaints about the hotel's parking situation, as the parking lot is off-site. Guests found this inconvenient, since they were forced to park around the corner before walking to the hotel. There is street parking below, as well, but it is only a short-term option.
negative:
Breakfast needs improvement
Past guests have mentioned that the free breakfast at this hotel needs improvement. While the meal isn't horrible, guests were expecting a little bit more at this property in the morning.
