Negative Reviews
negative:
An older, "motel" style layout..
Though the interior is newly refurbished, the hotel is older and the guest rooms feature exterior doors, some of which open directly onto the parking lot area. Some guests in these rooms had privacy, security, or noise concerns, and have described the area as a bit "seedy" or "shady".
negative:
The nose knows..
Though the hotel has a smoke-free policy, several guests have reported cigarette odor or else an "old", "musty" smell in their rooms or the hallways.
negative:
A few bad eggs?
While many guests enjoy the complimentary breakfast buffet, some leave disappointed in the overall selection and the "powdered" eggs. Others have been dismayed by an indifferent or even indignant response from management to their concerns about their rooms.
