Negative Reviews
negative:
Rundown is a letdown
The hotel has a bit of a rundown appearance. Many areas are in need of painting and freshening up. Seeing the older conditions of the rooms and common areas is a letdown for guests who expect a better quality stay from this hotel chain.
negative:
For short stays only
The accommodations and features work best for short-term guests. Those who want to stay for multiple nights will have to be content with many water problems, like cold showers instead of hot, water pressure issues, and leaking showers. With that being said, the hotel does also have many guests who are long-term residents, so the hotel also doubles as a residential inn.
negative:
Loud air
The air conditioning is the loudest aspect of this hotel. The units rattle and moan whenever they are turned on. While they can keep up with the heat, the sound might keep you awake at night.
