Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 18:00, which could be restrictive for late arrivals. Express check-in/out is available, but the core window is short.
- Some areas rate lower — While the general rating is solid, the 'Value' category scores slightly below other aspects, and rooms are generally twin configurations if you're seeking more space.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
