Negative Reviews
negative:
Could Use Another Cleaning
Housekeeping could do a better job cleaning up. The shared bathrooms, especially, could use a scrubbing. Mold has been spotted in the shower area. The floors and window shades in the rooms are somewhat dusty. A few guests also mentioned that some rooms could use a facelift as wear and tear is clearly visible.
negative:
Don't Bring Your Own Bottle
Many guests didn't know this until arrival, but no alcohol is allowed on premises or in rooms. Also, people not booked in the hotel are not allowed inside the rooms, but visitors can hang out in the common areas.
negative:
Nighttime Noise
You may hear your fellow neighbors wandering the halls at night in order to get to the shared bathroom areas. Even guests from en-suite rooms have complained. Do bring earplugs as a precaution if you're a sensitive sleeper.
