Negative Reviews
negative:
Positioned out of the city
The location of the accommodation was not seen in the best light overall by former visitors. Although it has been said that a convenient shopping centre is within walking distance, getting to most popular attractions in the city realistically requires the need for some form of transport.
negative:
Select rooms still in need of updating
It has been noted that select rooms at the motel are dated and still in need of renovation. For previous guests that expected a modern accommodation as seen in pictures advertising the property, they were understandably left disappointed in that regard.
negative:
Extra cost for using in-room spa
According to numerous reports, an additional fee is applied for using the in-room spa at the accommodation. For those that stayed in rooms that featured a spa, this has been a somewhat common grievance for past visitors that planned to use the facility.
