Sound Travels Easily

Some guests have complained of noise travelling easily through the hotel's seemingly thin walls. You may overhear noises throughout your stay, so if you're a particularly light sleeper, you might want to be mindful of this information.

Breakfast Room is Lacking

The ambiance of the breakfast room is said to be a bit dry and stuffy. While there are plenty of breakfast options to choose from, the atmosphere of the room doesn't seem to deliver up to guests' expectations.

Early Checkout Time

The checkout time of 10:00 a.m. is a bit inconvenient for some guests, and the hotel staff appear to be firm on the policy. Just be sure to plan ahead and set an alarm to ensure that you check out on time when you plan to depart.
