Negative Reviews
negative:
Renovate and Redecorate
Even though the rooms were satisfactory, guests say some renovations, redecoration, and maybe better attention to detail when cleaning, are necessary. The room décor appears dated, some rooms have a damp smell, and many showers need a deep cleaning from mineral buildup.
negative:
Better Breakfast
The daily breakfast gets mixed reviews. While some guests enjoyed the selection, others weren't too impressed with the offerings, describing it as mediocre, and adding that expectations were higher.
negative:
Lift and Accessibility
Some guests were concerned about the lack of a lift within the hotel. If you have a lot of luggage or trouble with stairs, you may want to keep this in mind. However, the hotel does have a chair lift for accessibility, but only to the first floor (one above ground level) and not the second floor. If you will be needing a chair lift to access your room, make sure to specify that upon reservation.
