Negative Reviews

negative:

Small and cold rooms

The rooms are rather small and get stuffy. Windows are difficult to open. The heater system is not sufficient to heat up the floors of the rooms and it gets icy cold. Amenities like room service are not provided.

negative:

Bathroom shower slow and tepid water

Bathroom space is cramped and the counter is small too. The shower does not have pressure and the water is not hot enough.

negative:

Elevator issues, parking charged, hotel noisy

Elevator does not function for days on end making it very difficult for guests staying at the top floors. Parking is not a complimentary facility and the charge is high. The hotel is subjected to a lot of noise and the staff is unhelpful.
