Negative Reviews
negative:
No Lift in the Inn
Guests were not pleased to have to climb stairs with their luggage. Although the rooms are only one floor up, guests said there were still a lot of stairs and no porter service was offered.
negative:
Street Noise can be Loud
A frequent complain by guests is that the street noise can be really loud at times. Keeping the windows closed seems to be a partial solution, though it doesn't completely eradicate the problem. Light sleepers need to avoid the front rooms facing the street, said guests, as the noise is worse there.
negative:
Breakfast is Too Skimpy
The continental breakfast served in the restaurant is composed of a beverage and a bread or pastry. Complaints from guests are that the meal is not substantial enough to carry them through to the next meal.
