Not necessarily the cheapest option

Guests have been slightly put-off by the price of this hotel. Guests have not expected luxury when staying at this property. However, for the price paid, a bit more was expected compared to what was actually given with regards to amenities and general features.

negative:

Room features are in need of some work

The in-room features have often been the subject of negative reviews as they are in need of some refurbishment. Guests feel as though some of the features, such as the air-conditioning, have not always been in working condition making their stay slightly inconvenient.

Cleaning efforts could be improved

Negative reviews often point out flaws in the cleaning efforts of the staff at this hotel. The cleaning can certainly be more highly prioritised as guests have been disappointed to arrive at a room that clearly has traces of the previous guests.
