Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is narrow — Guests can only check in between 15:00 and 19:00, which may be tight for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets on the property.
- Comfort rating is lower — While other categories score well, comfort sits at 7.0 — a possible sign of firmer beds or less cushioning in some rooms.
- Mixed feelings on value — One guest called it 'cheap,' which may indicate a basic experience, so expectations about extras should be set.
