Negative Reviews
negative:
Aging Gracefully
While most guests were pleased with their accommodations, some say that the hotel could use a face lift. The room decor appears dated, and poor daylight makes everything look dark. The carpets seem old, and there is a musty smell is some rooms, possibly due to poor ventilation. In addition, the mattresses and sofas could use replacing, as most guests found them uncomfortable and lumpy.The lobby's furniture also looks faded and aged.
negative:
Parking Problems
The parking lot onsite is limited in space and can fill up quickly. Fortunately, the hotel has a second lot but it is a bit tight for larger cars and also a couple blocks away, making it uncomfortable if you have a lot of luggage to carry.
negative:
Bad Wi-Fi
Though most guests didn't have a problem with the Wi-Fi, some guests could not connect to the internet at all during their stay. Make sure to ask the staff for help, as they will gladly assist you with any technical problems.
