Negative Reviews
negative:
Wi-Fi only available in lobby
If you decide you want to use the hotel's Wi-Fi signal, you will have to camp out in the lobby. You won't be able to get a signal in your room, which can be a pain if you are trying to relax.
negative:
Air conditioning off when you leave
When you leave for the day, the owners will likely turn the air conditioning off in your room. When you come back after a long, hot day, you will be greeted with a hot room that takes a while to cool down.
negative:
Not in the safest of areas
