Negative Reviews
negative:
The exterior could use some work
Despite the recently remodeled interior, some previous visitors to the hotel have mentioned that the exterior of the hotel leaves much to be desired. Guests have noted its distressing appearance, peeling paint, and rust, which isn't representative of the comfy interior.
negative:
Walls are a little thin
Several travelers have noted that, while the hotel is well situated and comfortable, the older walls tend to let in sound from other rooms and the corridors. If you're a light sleeper, you may want to include sound-cancelling headphones on your packing list.
negative:
A few minor issues
Overall, guests have found the hotel cozy and the amenities top notch. However, some lodgers have mentioned a few issues, including a lingering odor of smoke, dingy bathrooms, hard beds, and a lack of room service—although you can order take-out from the restaurant.
