Negative Reviews

negative:

Suites seem dated

Although some of the suites here have been renovated, a fair number of them have led guests to describe the accommodation as dated. The public areas of the hotel seem much more modern. Additionally, guests have reported that the suites could be better equipped.

negative:

Limited laundry equipment

Guests note that the laundry facilities are limited for a hotel of this size. Guests have faced queues when trying to use the equipment - a scenario which is less than ideal for both leisure and business guests.

negative:

Some noise concerns

Given the city centre location, it probably won’t be too surprising to hear that guests have encountered a fair amount of noise while staying here. For some, the problem was only apparent on weekend evenings although others have found the noise excessive from early on in the morning on each day of their stay.
