Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort rating lower than other categories — At 8.3/10, comfort scores below staff and rooms, suggesting some guests find beds or noise levels less than perfect.
- Potential windowless rooms — At least one guest noted a room lacked a window, so it's worth clarifying when booking if natural light matters.
- No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
- No on-site parking mentioned — The hotel doesn't list parking, so guests arriving by car may need to find public parking nearby.
