Negative Reviews
negative:
Low quality of room lighting
Some guests have quite an issue about the quality of lighting inside the rooms especially when you're just about to unpack your things. It is also a problem to read books and go from one place to another especially if you have poor eyesight.
negative:
Limited parking spaces
Parking is described as a bit uncomfortable for some guests. Guests have some problems with the size of the designated parking area for it was quite difficult to manoeuvre big trucks or SUV's. Due to limited space, guests have no choice but to park to a different area.
negative:
Poor soundproofing in rooms
It is quite hard for guests to sleep soundly at night due to the intolerable noise coming from the others rooms such as barking of dogs. It is one of the negative consequences of allowing pets inside the hotel. It is also quite noisy in the morning due to room service or deliveries.
