Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Parking is on the street — There’s no on-site car park; guests use public parking nearby, which may require finding a spot.
- Some ratings are lower — While most scores are high, the 'cat7' category scores 8.2—lower than other areas like rooms (9.2) and service (9.1).
- No on-site restaurant — The property doesn’t list a restaurant, though guests mention good food options nearby or available.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:30, so late arrivals after that time aren’t accommodated.
