Negative Reviews
negative:
Noisy floors.
Several reviewers mention that the floors in their room were very squeaky, and that they could also hear people walking in other rooms, indicating they had much the same problem. A few reviewers also found the stairs to be quite loud, which disturbed them
negative:
Mixed reviews of breakfast.
The overall consensus is that the breakfast is not necessarily a negative, but is quite standard and simple. Many thought the variety on offer could be increased. Those that mentioned the price of breakfast found it to be too costly for what was provided.
negative:
Bathrooms outside rooms.
Though the hotel says rooms are complete with private bathrooms, some guests say their bathroom was outside the room across the hall, which they found to be a nuisance and quite odd in this level of accommodation.
