Road Noise Can be a Problem at Night
There is a busy road right outside the hotel, and the traffic can be quite loud. Several guests said that it kept them from sleeping because the walls are thin and the windows are not double glazed. So, you may need ear plugs when you stay there.

Expect Some Minor Maintenance Issues
Many guests pointed out that the inn staff tends to cut corners when it comes to guest room maintenance. For example, the lamp shades are not always screwed securely to the lamps. Also, there are sometimes cobwebs in corners and door or drawer handles that are loose, among other things.
