The Wi-Fi is spotty
The Internet connection in the guest rooms can be slow and spotty which could be problematic if you are travelling on business, want to get an email out in a hurry or use your devices on demand.
negative:
There's no lift
Smithfield Hotel does not have a lift. The steps leading to the guest rooms are rather steep and winding which could prove to be problematic if you have low mobility or a lot of luggage in tow.
negative:
You may have to wait for service
The dining establishments at this hotel can get really busy, especially on weekends and during peak travel season, which means you may have to wait for service and your food. But the good news is that once the food arrives, you'll find that it was worth the wait.
