Dinner
However, there were also numerous criticisms. Many guests felt that the dinner buffet fell short of expectations with complaints ranging from food being cold to limited dessert options and a lack of local cuisine. Price also seemed to be a contentious issue with many finding the buffet dinner to be overpriced for the quality offered. The à la carte option received harsh critiques as well with reports of poor food preparation and tastes.

Overall, while some diners had a great experience, enjoying both the food and variety, a significant number of guests felt the quality and organization could be vastly improved, especially given the price point.
Rooms
However, several guests noted that the rooms and overall décor feel quite dated and could benefit from modernization. Issues such as worn-out furniture, insufficient outlets and poorly maintained bathrooms were common mentions. Problems with sound insulation and the presence of bugs and unpleasant odors also detracted from the experience for some guests, as did the lack of amenities like shampoo and shower gel.
Cleanliness was a consistent highlight with rooms often described as well-maintained despite their age. The room sizes varied with some finding them spacious and others feeling cramped, particularly in family rooms or those with extra beds. The air conditioning system's placement and noise was another concern, specifically during hot weather.
In summary, guests appreciate the fundamental comfort and cleanliness of the rooms but often feel they fall short due to outdated features and occasional maintenance lapses. The hotel's potential shines through, yet it remains tethered by the need for significant updates and renovations.
