Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Mixed comfort and facilities scores — While rooms and service rate well, comfort and facilities score lower, suggesting some areas may feel dated or less polished.
- Check-in window ends early — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 19:00, which may be tight if your travel plans run late.
- Slippery slippers — One guest found the provided slippers difficult to walk in gracefully—a minor quibble, but worth noting for comfort.
