Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, which may be restrictive for travelers arriving later in the evening.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, so guests traveling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Basic amenities for the class — The value rating sits at 8.1, slightly below other categories, and with only one room type, options are limited.
  • Low general category rating — A 'General' rating of 8.5 and a separate category at 5.0 hint at inconsistent experiences in some non-room aspects.
