Negative Reviews
negative:
Parking can be a challenge
Several guests mention that they struggled to find a space in the hotel's parking lot, seemingly due to the number of non-guests dining in the restaurant. It would be useful if parking spots were reserved for guests as part of their booking.
negative:
Wi-Fi is occasionally slow
While not a frequent concern, a couple of guests do mention that they found the Wi-Fi signal was a little unreliable and the connection speed quite slow. On the plus side, for many guests, this was the only minor niggle they could come up with.
negative:
Functions can be noisy
This hotel is no doubt a popular choice for weddings and events. Guests who ended up in a room above the function suite do mention that they found the noise a little off-putting. Other than that, this seems to be a quiet hotel.
