    Negative Reviews

    negative:

    Rooms compact, bathrooms smaller.

    While the rooms were deemed to be small but perfectly adequate, the bathrooms have been considered uncomfortably cramped by some guests.

    negative:

    Next to main road can mean a little noise.

    If you are worried about the noise from the nearby road, be sure to ask after a quieter room at the back of the hotel, but keep in mind that not many guests have found the traffic to be disturbing.

    negative:

    Bar food expensive and professionalism.

    While many bar patrons were happy, some found the bar food to be expensive for what it was and thought the bar restaurant staff was sometimes lacking in professionalism.
