Negative Reviews
negative:
Hotel Needs Updating
The hotel's walls and decor were thought by some to be damp and old with need for a new face. Some guests saw stains and rooms and furtiture felt damp, which had more to do with a need for renovations rather than the cleanliness of the place.
negative:
Loud Traffic Noise
The hotel is situated next to a major highway and therefore the traffic noise was unbearable for many to get a good night's rest. Other annoying noises were heard as well with the location desbribed as anything but peaceful.
negative:
Anything but Pet-Friendly
For those guests who wanted to stay with their guests and pay the extra fee, some never had the chance to even stay in the hotel since they were not allowed to book. Guests who tried to book could not do so because the hotel complained of past, unwelcoming incidences with pets.
