Negative Reviews
Exit/outing procedure inconvenient
Multiple guests reported that leaving the room (or going out and returning) requires contacting the front desk to unlock the door, which some found cumbersome or uncomfortable.
Bathroom drainage and odor issues
Several reviews noted problems with drains—slow or clogged sinks, hair present, and occasional musty or drain‑like odors in bathrooms—suggesting plumbing/trap maintenance is needed.
Occasional cleanliness/problems in common areas
A few guests observed insects or some dirt on lobby/front‑desk floors and felt these public areas could use more attention to cleaning.
Aging or malfunctioning equipment
Some facilities were reported as old or partially broken (e.g., massage chair out of order, jet‑bath not producing bubbles, bath TV noisy/static), and a few noted that bathtubs felt small despite large bathrooms.
Access, parking and booking inconsistencies
Comments included a steep, narrow underground ramp that can be difficult for low or large cars and a desire for an elevator to basement levels; a few guests also reported confusing price differences between reservation and walk‑in rates and inconsistent check‑in handling or communication.
