Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort and facilities rating below par — While overall guest reviews are positive, the property scores lower in comfort (4.9) and facilities (5.5) compared to other categories, suggesting some areas may feel dated or less polished.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may disappoint travellers hoping to bring their animals. Note that one review mentions special arrangements for a pet, so exceptions may be made.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is available from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight may face challenges.
- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking facilities, so guests arriving by car will need to make other arrangements.
