Negative Reviews
negative:
Property is a little dated
Although guests comment that this hotel is clean and comfortable and that the on-site facilities are well maintained, some do note that the property seems generally dated and is in need of a bit of a facelift to bring it up to a higher standard. Renovations are planned for 2016.
negative:
Disappointing air-conditioning
A number of guests were disappointed by the standard of the in-room air-conditioning, describing the units as old, noisy, and unable to effectively cool the room. It seems that replacement of these units should be considered during future renovations.
negative:
No self-parking option
This hotel offers a valet-only parking service for a daily fee. Unsurprisingly, several guests would have preferred the option to park their own car so as to avoid the additional charge.
