Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Value rating is the weakest category — At 7.7, Value scores lower than other categories, suggesting some guests feel the price-to-experience ratio could be better, though the location and breakfast help offset it.
- Breakfast satisfaction varies — While many reviews praise the breakfast, the Dining score of 7.6 is the second-lowest category, so some guests may have expectations that aren't fully met.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be limiting for travelers wanting to bring their animal companions.
- Check-in window starts at 15:00 — Guests cannot check in before 3 p.m., which could be inconvenient for early arrivals. The latest check-in is 23:59, and check-out is at noon.
