The Bad
Complaints were plentiful and surfaced along several themes.
more Many guests felt the hotel needed to be updated. Guests reported worn decor, slow elevators, hard beds, a concave mattresses that sank in the middle, small showers and small bathrooms. Guests often felt the theme rooms and their hallways were tacky and very dated.
Many guests considered the rooms to be overpriced, especially for the older state of the hotel and compared to other hotels in the vicinity.
Several guests found cleanliness inconsistencies. Complaints included a dirty shower curtain, hallways that needed more frequent vacuuming, dirty floors, stained carpets, a stained couch, a dirty hot tub and a dirty bathtub.
Some guests felt that better maintenance was required. They complained of broken mirrors, chipped paint, a non-functioning heater, slow drains, low water pressure (when filling a tub), no hot water available for a shower and a toilet leaking on the surrounding floor.
Noise disturbance was an issue for a good number of guests. They reported loud and drunk people in neighbouring rooms who were cursing, playing music, yelling, running up and down the hallways and allowing doors to bang shut. Others were disturbed by guests talking and returning to their rooms in the hallways late at night or children who were allowed to run in the hallways unattended.
Occasionally complaints surfaced about the staff, with some guests reporting rude or incompetent service from the front desk.
Complaints were not plentiful about the Wi-Fi service, but it was explained that it was difficult to access and there were device restrictions per room. However, on the whole, Wi-Fi was only given an average score by guest reviewers.
