Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness trail the rest — This is the only rating category under 8, at 7. Reviews don't focus on it, but room finishes and upkeep are the least impressive part of the stay.
- Check-in has a set window — Arrivals are taken from 14:00 to 23:59, with check-out by 11:00. If you expect to arrive late at night, that needs planning.
- Pets are not allowed — The hotel doesn't permit pets, and the property is smoke-free throughout.
