The Bad
There were not many complaints found in recent reviews that were read for this report.

Very occasionally a guest would mention that he felt that the price for parking was too high and that it should be included in the room price. One guest also said that the parking spots were small.

A few guests, it seems, were disappointed that the hotel did not offer a fine dining restaurant. One said the food was sub-par, and a couple of guests described it as not appealing to all tastes, or not being elegant, with poor menu choices.
