The Bad
There were very few negative comments about this hotel among the reviews used for this analysis.
Of those, nearly all were directed towards the hotel's lack of elevator, which was inconvenient for some guests carrying heavy luggage and which, as the hotel website states, makes the hotel inaccessible for guests with limited mobility.
As well, the hotel is located above a sex shop and there are some strip clubs in the immediate area. There were many comments from reviewers who were not bothered by this and said the area was still safe and appealing. However, some cautioned that the hotel, while an ideal choice for guests wanting to be in the middle of all the action, may not be an ideal choice for guests travelling with small children.
