Annoying staff may be encountered
Some members of the staff may be overly chatty, annoying, rude or aloof. While it is nice for them to be friendly, do not hesitate on reminding them that you do not want to be disturbed every now and then.
negative:
Wi-Fi is not complimentary
You have to pay an additional fee to access the Internet. Many guests find this ridiculous at this Internet age, where many other hotels provide Wi-Fi connection for free. If you really need to be online, you can try to visit other stores in the area offering free Wi-Fi connection, or you can bring your own Internet device.
negative:
Poor soundproofing allows noise into the rooms
Some rooms have walls that are thin, and you can hear TVs playing from other rooms. However, each room also comes with a complimentary ear buds that might help you have a better, undisturbed sleep.
