Right next to the highway/ring road, a short stroll from the train station and a mere ten-minute drive from the airport; it's easy to see why plenty of travellers have suggested this hotel's location is its best feature. Having a shopping mall just across the street was considered a big plus too.
It is fair to say a great many visitors have been suitably impressed by the fact they could spread out nicely on the king-size beds in the guest rooms.
Many parents loved that the indoor kiddies' play facility is in view of several public areas as it enabled them to keep a good eye on their little ones whilst they themselves enjoyed a little ‘time out'.
This hotel's location between a metropolitan train line and a 14-lane highway ensures noise is a near-constant concern when staying here. Numerous guests suggested light sleepers should consider bringing ear plugs with them.
It has been noted that, whilst some individuals make an effort, a general mood of negativity and malaise seems to exist among many of the staff members at this hotel. A significant number of visitors agreed that those employees who work on reception and at the bar are most in need of remotivating.
The vast majority of travellers who've stayed here have observed that the dated guest rooms are in need of some TLC. Broken fixtures/fittings, stained curtains and faded carpets were the main bugbears reported. The bathrooms were also reported to be well past their best.
