The Bad
The majority of the reviews for this hotel were positive, and most of the negative comments were one-off situations. However, there were a few remarks that did surface with some regularity. These negative comments were about the size of the pool and the size of the breakfast area.
Several guests felt that the pool was too small. It was said by some to be good for kids, but too small for adults.
The breakfast area was said by a few guests to be too small and crowded. One guest felt the breakfast room was an after-thought and therefore not built to an appropriate size.
