Negative Reviews
negative:
Restricted parking space
Some guests are quite disappointed with the parking area. They were advised to move parking spaces often for they were blocking some neighbours. It has become an issue to some people who are not comfortable moving, or having different parking arrangements.
negative:
Insufficient bathroom size
Despite having a well-maintained bathroom, some guests find it quite hard to move inside due to the limited space. It is quite small for two people inside especially if they are tall. Some guests also observed that there is not much headroom in the shower.
negative:
Beds seem uncomfortable and noisy
Some guests have minor issues with the quality of the beds used. There is metal frame that has the tendency to squeak when you switch places or try to move. Moreover, the mattress is too soft and bouncy which makes it uncomfortable to sleep.
