Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness rated lower — While guests praise location and dining, the 'Rooms and cleanliness' category scores 6 out of 10, suggesting some may find the rooms basic or not spotless.
- No pets allowed — The hotel's policy prohibits pets, which may be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their animals – though one review mentions a dog, it appears to be an exception.
- Check-in window closes late evening — Check-in is only available from 14:00 until 23:59, so if you arrive after midnight you cannot check in until the next morning.
- Parking may be limited — Parking is listed as an amenity, but guest reviews do not mention it – the exact availability or cost is not specified in the data.
