Negative Reviews
negative:
Unsatisfactory bathrooms with weak water pressure
As mentioned by guests, the showers in the bathrooms had weak pressure and the sinks worked slowly. When you experience this, do not think twice to inform the staff and they'll do what they can to solve the trouble right away.
negative:
Outdated in-room amenities
Some guests are bothered because the microwaves and coffee & tea making facilities looked a bit old. However, these amenities still work well. In addition, the mattresses show signs of old age as they produce squeaky sounds at times according to guests.
negative:
Issues with the Televisions
The televisions have decent sizes but most of them have poor reception. Some guests also commented that there seem to be no cable channels, in contrast with what the property advertised.
