Negative Reviews
negative:
The hotel does lack a parking lot
The lack of an onsite parking lot left a few guests rather disappointed. Though they could park elsewhere, they felt that the alternative public parking was quite a distance from the hotel and a bit expensive.
negative:
Difficulty connecting to Wi-Fi in the rooms
The wireless internet connection at the property is quite weak in a few of the rooms. Some guests could not connect to the network while others surfed at such slow speeds that it was unusable unless you were a very light user.
negative:
Most rooms had poor sound insulators
Slamming of doors was mainly disturbing especially late at night and early in the morning. Many guests have complained about the high noisy levels during their stay.
