Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I love that this property is located in tourist friendly areas but I hate everything else. Parking isn’t reasonably priced even though it should have been free. Amenities are lacking as I had to ask for a refrigerator. All they give you are tiny tubes of body wash, shampoo, and lotion and their towels which need changing to be honest. I found a lot of dust and hair in the sink the first day I got there. There is no complimentary breakfast and the property is really dated for the price point. I understand it has some history but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be renovated every now and then. The heater makes the worst noise imaginable. I couldn’t even sleep for more than three hours at a time.Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it unless it gets renovated in the future.
