Hotel Needs an Update.
Though hotel facilities are good, the room and hotel décor needs an update. The décor is slightly dated and from fresh paint to fresh carpet, scope of Improvement is there.
negative:
Small Size of Rooms.
Though the rooms are comfortable and well-appointed, they are small in size and guests feel that bigger rooms would be a better change. Also, the bathroom size is small and narrow and could be a trouble for guests who are taller.
negative:
Unavailability of Wi-Fi in Rooms.
Most of the guests reported that though Internet connection worked well everywhere, Wi-Fi connectivity is very poor in the rooms, as the walls are very thick. Accessing Internet may become a frustrating experience.
