Unacceptable Breakfast
Many guests found the hotel's breakfast appalling, and said it was not reflective of what they expected to get based on doing prior research through the property's website. Specifically, they mentioned it was very bread-based, and quickly got boring. Frequently, guests just tried it once and decided to look for off-site options after that.
negative:
Shower is Poorly Designed
Guests said that the shower designers obviously didn't think hard enough about the shower's style. They discussed an opening at the bottom part of the shower door that caused water to get everywhere even when guests were trying to be careful.
negative:
The Rooms Are Noisy
Guests often complained that the hotel needs to do a better job of soundproofing the accommodations. Interior noise problems caused by fellow occupants in other rooms were usually easiest to hear, but some guests were also disturbed by street sounds.
