Negative Reviews
negative:
The Bar is Loud at Night
By far the biggest complaint about the hotel is that it can be quite loud at night. Most of the noise comes from the bar, but the road outside can also be loud. So, you should request a room at the back of the hotel away from the bar if at all possible.
negative:
Breakfast is Only Served for a Short Time
Many guests were disappointed by the fact that there is only a small time window in which to order breakfast in the morning. If you like to sleep late, particularly on Sundays, you may miss the morning meal entirely.
negative:
Some Rooms Have Poor Layouts
Several guests said that the bedrooms are
arranged in such a way that they feel small and cramped. Some guests also commented
that the showers are far too tiny considering all of the extra space available
in the bathrooms.
