Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Dining is the weakest category — Guest scores for dining sit at 6 out of 10, below the rest of the hotel. There is no restaurant or bar in the amenity list, and one review points to a reasonably priced restaurant near the hotel rather than on site.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel's policy is no pets, which is also listed in the amenities, so guests travelling with animals will need to find alternative accommodation.
  • Check-in has a cut-off at midnight — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:59. If you're arriving after midnight, you'll need to coordinate with the hotel in advance.
