The Bad
Although the positive reviews outnumbered the negative reviews, there were some common concerns. Guests felt the hotel was dated, were not impressed with the beds and felt the staff were unprofessional.

The biggest criticism was that the hotel looked outdated, old and a "bit seedy". Many guests felt the hotel needed updating and more maintenance. 

The reviews regarding staff were mainly positive but there were a few guests who felt the staff were unprofessional.

A couple guests felt the beds were uncomfortable. 

There were a few reviewers who did not like the surrounding area of the hotel and felt the bar/lounge smoking area could have been in a more appropriate place, away from the front entrance and front desk of the hotel.
