Negative Reviews
negative:
No Wi-Fi In Rooms
Although the public Wi-Fi is free, there is no internet available in the rooms. This is quite inconvenient, especially since connectivity issues are common in the public areas as well.
negative:
Slow, Disorganized Staff
Although most staff are polite, efficient and helpful, a few could use a brush-up class on communication, customer service skills and how to hustle.
negative:
Expensive Food and Small Portion Sizes
While the food is tasty and the Sunday Lunch is a local favourite, you may find yourself still hungry after finishing your meal. Portion sizes are tiny and the prices are exorbitant. Being required to elbow your way through a bar crowd to place your order and pay also seems a bit out of character for a finer historic establishment.
