Some rooms feel dated or limited
Reviews note issues ranging from room comfort to maintenance and convenience.
Multiple reviews mention rooms that are clean and comfortable, but also describe areas that need improvement, like upgrading, noise, or room amenities that are missing or difficult to use. Complaints include no air conditioning in some rooms, rooms feeling small, and occasional maintenance problems (for example a TV not working). Other reviews describe the bed and overall comfort positively, but the negatives suggest inconsistency across rooms or stays.
