Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, so guests arriving by car may need to arrange parking nearby.
  • Check-in starts at 15:00 — Standard check-in begins at 3 PM, which may be a wait for early arrivals; late check-out is available, but not guaranteed without prior arrangement.
  • No smoking on site — The entire property is non-smoking, which could be a limitation for guests who smoke.
  • Value rating slightly below other categories — At 8.7, value scores lower than service and staff ratings, suggesting some guests feel the price is not fully matched by the experience.
