Rooms attract mixed reviews
Some of the guest rooms at this hotel appear to have been recently refurbished, so it's possible you'll get one of those. Unfortunately, not all rooms are so impressive. A regular complaint relates to filthy floors, but there are additional issues regarding cleanliness.

Temperamental air-conditioning
Several guests mention that getting the air-conditioning is something of a feat, with some describing it as a real challenge to bring the room temperature down to something that is near to acceptable.
