In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Price may be high for some — One guest noted the cost is 'a little high', though they considered it worth it for the quality.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Dining scores lower than other categories — While the breakfast receives praise, the restaurant itself has a lower rating than rooms, service, or value, indicating possible inconsistency.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals past midnight may need to arrange alternative plans.
