Small pool and no hot tub
Previous guests have described the pool here as fairly small so it would seem that this facility may become crowded at times. Also, guests frequently mention that they missed having a hot tub on-site.

Some reports of noise
The downtown location has proved popular with guests but it does mean that the neighborhood in which the hotel is located is on the noisy side. Guests also occasionally mention that they found the walls between rooms so thin that they could hear their neighbors.
