Negative Reviews

Issues with reservations

Some guests say that issues can - and do - arise when trying to check in, citing that reservations are sometimes lost and there are no available beds.

No shower door

Many guest note that there is no shower door, which causes water to spill onto the bathroom floor, making it slippery and dangerous to walk on. Others feel that the lack of shower doors is invading to privacy.

Problems with hot water

Some guests prefer that the water be hotter. Others say that the water can go from hot to cold quickly, especially during busy times, and recommend showering during off-peak hours.
