No lift for higher floors
This hotel does not feature a lift. This might be a problem for guests who struggle to climb large amounts of stairs or elder guests who suffer from back problems. If you feel as though this might become a problem, try asking for a ground floor room.

Outdated decor
Even though this hotel can be said to be well appointed in terms of amenities, the interior decor is outdated. There have been a couple of complaints concerning the old furniture and styling. A contemporary update would greatly enhance the image of this hotel.
