Negative Reviews

negative:

Old Fashioned and Aging

While the hotel is well-kept and clean, some renovations could help. Several guests made complains about musty smells in the hallways, elevators and some rooms. Also, the bathrooms are extremely small. Most guests found it very awkward to move around in them, or even shower comfortably.

negative:

Weak Wi-Fi

A few guests complained about the Wi-Fi connection dropping constantly and the speed being too slow to comfortably surf the internet on.

negative:

Noisy Nights

As this is an older property, the walls are quite thin. Guests said they could hear their neighbors quite well. If neighbors don't keep you awake, the cleaning staff might. They start cleaning early and guests said they repeatedly woke up from the noise in the hallways. If you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs just in case.
