Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms starting to show their age
Although the rooms at the Edgewater Hotel are generally well received, a number of former visitors have commented that they are somewhat dated when it comes to appearance. With that said, it is also conceded that the rooms are well-maintained and clean for the most part.
negative:
Parking is tight
The on-site parking has been an issue for some previous guests staying at the hotel. Situated underneath the hotel in a garage, it has been said that, while there are enough available spots, parking spaces are tight and difficult to negotiate.
negative:
Elevator issues
The fact that the Edgewater Hotel only has two elevators has caused problems for past visitors. Along with the limited amount of elevators for a hotel of its size, the slow speed of the elevators has also proved to be a point of grievance on a number of occasions.
