Negative Reviews
negative:
While Some like It Hot, Others….
Some guests mentioned the guestsrooms are very warm and climate control is an issue. Some state that even when conditions aren’t that hot outside the rooms tend to heat up quickly, especially on humid days. The lack of air conditioning was off-putting for some guests.
negative:
Price Doesn't Match the Value for Some.
While many visitors didn't seem to have too many issues with the cost of the room, others did. They cited a lack of extras you might expect with a room of this price, such as elevators, boxed tissues or a larger TV. They also pointed out that there were extra charges for things they thought should be included, like use of the fitness facilities.
negative:
Restaurant Quibbles.
Some guests felt that the evening restaurant menu was rather limited and lacked an abundance of choices. Others travellers cited that they thought it was overpriced when compared with what they received. Some vacationers also mentioned that breakfast should be available longer for late risers.
