Negative Reviews
negative:
High rates and extra costs
Guests have mentioned that the rates at this Stamford hotel are similar to what you might pay for accommodation in the heart of New York City. In addition the presumed high rates, guests have questioned the lack of a free breakfast as well as the extra charges for parking.
negative:
Some hallway noise
Reviews reveal that guests have suffered from occasional disturbance from children and young people in the hallways. The hotel seems to play host to young sports teams and these teams don’t always appear to be properly supervised.
negative:
On-site fitness room is small
Guests have reported that the on-site fitness room is small and offers a limited selection of equipment. That said, guests are able to use a large fitness facility across the street free of charge so this is a minor frustration.
