- Inconsistent breakfast service — One guest reported long waits for coffee and chaotic breakfast service, though others enjoyed the variety and freshness.
- Parking is limited to handicap spaces — On-site parking is only mentioned as handicap parking, which may be insufficient for all guests, though staff helped with private parking in one instance.
