Negative Reviews
negative:
Hotel could use some TLC.
This property has seen better days. Throughout the hotel guests will encounter tired looking decor and worn out fixtures that are in need of modern updates. With a little TLC this hotel could shed its shabby appearance.
negative:
Food and drink menus are limited.
On-site are some dining and drink options, but those options are few. While the owners do what they can with what they have and often cook meals to preference, most of what is available is more snack and less meal type options.
negative:
Could use a thorough cleaning in spots.
Some areas of the Alison Park Hotel need a bit more attention from the cleaning crew. Reviews commonly state issues with mould and grime in the bathrooms as well as dirty carpeting in need of a deeper vacuuming.
