Negative Reviews
negative:
Towels not provided
Numerous disappointed guests were shocked to get out of the shower only to realise that no towels had been provided them. This omission was felt to be glaring by many disgruntled guests. Some guests also reported that their towels were dirty.
negative:
Inconvenient location
While the hotel is located by the airport, it is far from the main attractions of the city. This forces guests to either rent a car or wait long periods for a taxi. For some unsatisfied guests, the wait proved to be far too inconvenient to justify a return to the hotel.
negative:
Pool and parking too far away
Many disappointed travellers mentioned their frustration regarding the location of the pool and parking lot, which are both far from the main body of the hotel. The hotel shares a complex with apartment buildings, and as a result, not all of its features are centrally accessible.
