Negative Reviews

Noise Next Door

Though most guests didn't have a complaint, some found that in a few of the rooms, noise from the street traffic and neighbours next door can be bothersome. If you're a light sleeper, you may want to bring a pair of earplugs as a precaution, and ask for a quieter room away from the roads.

negative:

Updates Necessary

Several guests found that even though the rooms were satisfactory, some mild renovations are necessary. In addition, some of the rooms have poor water pressure and guests said they didn't like the shower.

negative:

Small Space

A few guests found the rooms a bit too small for comfort. If you're concerned about space, you may want to look into upgrading to a larger room. Some guests also thought the TV was too small.
