The Bad
There were some persistent negative comments in the reviews used for this analysis about noise on weekends, uncomfortable beds, dirty rooms, and the lack of an elevator.
A common complaint was noise levels during the weekends. One guest said "if you happen to stay on a Friday or Saturday night be prepared for young people in the doorways drinking, smoking and not being mindful of noise levels, etc." There were also complaints about noisy sports teams staying in the hotel.
While some guests said the beds were comfortable, a few said the beds were not comfortable. One guest said "The bed was too soft. I had back pain after I woke up."
Another contradictory complaint was the cleanliness of the rooms. While some guests thought the rooms were clean, there were also some complaints regarding hallways that were said to be unclean and smelling of smoke. Others found cigarette burns on the comforters and trash around their rooms.
The hotel has three floors and no elevator, which bothered some guests.
