Terrific extras like pool and breakfast
Guests love the clean and comfortable pool, where there's plenty of space to unwind and enjoy. They also consider the breakfast to be another perk, as it's filling, generously portioned, fresh, and tasty.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Difficult to have a decent shower
Inconsistencies with the water pressure and temperatures often create poor showers that leave guests feeling disappointed and frustrated. Be aware that even if you have no problems with one shower, that still doesn't guarantee success for the next one.
negative:
Shoddy room conditions
Expectations aren't entirely met for what the rooms truly look and feel like. The décor and vibrancy are greatly worn, and guests are put off by the dullness. Makeovers and TLC are much needed, as every element, from flooring to walls to furniture and fixtures fail to impress.
negative:
Disruptive traffic and guest noise
It would be beneficial to have earplugs, since your room is likely to pick up the outside traffic noise. Thin walls don't do anything to buffer loud guests, so that also may work against a peaceful sleep at times.
