1. What can I say about this hotel, nothing negative has a real charm and the staff are friendly.

"Excellent " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/12/2011 Vote

2. Only negative was that the maids used a strong chemical product of some sort which bothered us one night, and so we had to request no more sprays.

3. The NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE NOT EXAGGERATED.

4. The only negative comments are that the cable was out most of the day (things like this do happen) and I could hear the people in the next room talking pretty easily, as if the walls were pretty thin.

7. The only negative was the breakfast in the executive lounge was so-so and the extra cost for wine/alcoholic beverages in the evening in the executive lounge was pricey for what you get.

8. My only negative comments would be that the room is fairly dark even with all curtains open during the day or all lights on at night, the wardrobe is quite small and I did notice noise from the room next door (talking on telephone, alarm clock in the moring, etc).

"Uninspriring view from window but what a bed! :D " Read full review on TripAdvisor 9/19/2008 Vote
