Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness score below average — The 'Rooms and cleanliness' category earns a 6 out of 10, which is lower than the hotel's overall rating of 7.7. Some guests may find room quality inconsistent.
- Dining rated modestly — The 'Dining' category also scores 6 out of 10, suggesting that the restaurant and breakfast experience may not be a highlight for all guests.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their animals.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is available from 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight will need to plan accordingly.
- No on-site parking listed — No parking information is provided, which may be a challenge for guests driving in the city.
