Negative Reviews

negative:

Parking Issues.

There is no on-site parking at this hotel. Instead, parking is on a first come first serve basis on the street; however, most guests do not have a problem finding available spaces. Valet service is not offered.

negative:

Small Rooms.

Rooms are very small and feel cramped. Guests say it's hard to maneuver around, especially if you have special needs or are in a wheelchair. Bathrooms are even tinier and guests say your knees could end up under the sink when you sit down on the toilet.

negative:

Windows and Noise.

Rooms lack air conditioning, although they do offer fans and the windows open; however, with the windows open, you're liable to hear noise from the streets.
