Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast menu does not change
Although guests have enjoyed the breakfast here, they note that the choice of items does not change from day to day. Over longer stays, this may present a problem. That said, you will not be short of alternative dining spots in this area should you fancy a change.
negative:
Some internal noise
Guests have occasionally mentioned that they were disturbed by internal noise. It appears that there is a small gap under the doors leading to the hallways and, as a result, the suites are poorly soundproofed.
negative:
Valet parking charges
There is no self-parking option at this hotel so if you are bringing your car and don’t want to find public parking, you will need to pay a fee for valet parking. Guests have found the cost of this service quite high.
