Negative Reviews
negative:
Train Noises
Guests complained that the soundproofing was not adequate in the hotel. As a result, guests were able to hear train noises at all hours of the day and night, all from a perpetually busy and large station.
negative:
The Rooms Are Small
Guests remarked that the rooms are generally very small. Frequently, guests reported that they decided not to unpack their luggage because there was not enough room to do so. There were also comments about how it was hard to move around the room when more than one guest was occupying it.
negative:
A Dated Appearance
Guests thought this hotel could really do with a makeover. They said the décor is several decades out of date, and the facilities are starting to show their age. This shortcoming tended to tarnish first impressions.
