Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms aren't the main draw — While clean and comfortable, some guests found the rooms dated or simple. The lowest rating category is rooms and cleanliness at 5, suggesting room quality lags behind other aspects.
- Limited room options for all budgets — The hotel offers mostly single, double, twin, and family rooms. There are no suite or apartment options, which might not suit travellers after more space or luxury.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which could be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
