Needing Updating
Much of the hotel appears dated and could use a renovation. Though well laid out, the rooms and bathrooms are said to be a bit on the smaller side. In addition, guests often reported issues with overall cleanliness of the rooms, and poorly maintained facilities, but most recent reviews show signs of improvement.

Pounding on the Pavement
Some of the street facing rooms are said to be a bit noisy due to pedestrian traffic. If you're a light sleeper, you may want to request a quieter room or bring some earplugs.
negative:
Some Stairs
There is a lift onsite but it only stops every two floors, so you'll likely need to climb a set of stairs to get to your room. If you're carrying heavy luggage, guests recommend taking the lift one floor higher and then going down.
