Negative Reviews
negative:
Broken features.
Several guests were displeased with broken features in the hotel rooms. For example, there were a lot of instances where the air-conditioning unit or heating did not work, causing temperature issues in the room. There were also rooms with insufficient cooling fans. The lights were burned out or very dim making it hard to see. The television was stalked on a tall cupboard and also out of use. The sheets also feel thin and worn out. There is also no Wi-Fi connection in the room.
negative:
Poor housekeeping.
On occasion, the housekeeping service was subpar and delayed. Previous guests reported a lack of linen and towel change throughout their stay. Others were unhappy with the standard of cleanliness in the shared hotel showers and bathrooms. There is an issue with cigarette smoke and damp conditions throughout the building.
negative:
Noisy.
Despite the quiet neighbourhood, if your room is located above the hotel’s lobby, you may be subjected to echoes of loud noise. Others noted sounds of construction disturbing their stay. There is also a bar across the street which may be noisy at night.
