Negative Reviews
Parking and front desk accessibility issues
One guest experienced difficulties parking because spaces were sectioned off and found the front desk unattended on arrival, requiring use of a phone to contact staff, which was inconvenient.
Location is far from the train station
Several guests noted the hotel is distant from the station; this made going out at night or arranging outside services less convenient and could incur extra transport costs.
Air conditioning not working on arrival
A reviewer reported the room felt warm when they entered because the air conditioning was not operating initially, which required attention to correct.
Noticeable cigarette smell in some rooms
At least one guest mentioned a strong tobacco odor in their room, which affected comfort for non‑smokers.
Check‑in/payment confusion for prepaid bookings
A guest who had prepaid felt they were nearly asked to pay again; once they explained the reservation, staff understood, but the experience caused unease during check‑in.
