Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Compact room sizes — Some rooms are on the smaller side, though they still include essential comforts like air conditioning and a flat-screen TV.
  • Cleanliness could be more consistent — While many guests found rooms spotless, the lower rooms-and-cleanliness score suggests occasional lapses.
  • No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking on site, so guests arriving by car will need to find alternatives nearby.
  • Check-in only until midnight — The check-in window runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so very late arrivals could be an issue.
