–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — Parking is not listed among the hotel's amenities, so guests arriving by car will need to make their own arrangements.
- Pets not allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
- Check-in window stops at midnight — Check-in runs from 13:00 to 23:59, so very late arrivals may need to coordinate with the 24-hour front desk.
- Mixed review scores on cleanliness and value — While overall ratings are strong, the 'Value' category (8.2) and an unnamed category (7.6) are lower than others, suggesting some inconsistency.
