Negative Reviews
negative:
Business setting.
The location of the hotel near universities and medical centers makes it more of a business hotel, rather than a romantic or relaxing getaway. Services and facilities are available for pleasure and business travelers.
negative:
Housekeeping slow.
While most of the hotel is well-kept and clean, housekeeping could be slow at times. This might be related to the capacity of the hotel, but if you need immediate assistance be sure to call the front desk for help.
negative:
Standard chain hotel.
While welcoming and adequate, the chain hotel is standard in terms of provided service and amenities. Some guests prefer the familiarity of chain hotels, but if you want more personalized service and intimate feel it might not meet your needs.
