Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms score below average — The hotel's rooms rating is 5.6 out of 10, the lowest category, with some guests finding them basic or noting noise and lack of windows in certain configurations.
- Overall value is modest — Value scores 5.5, below the city average of 8.2, suggesting you're paying for location more than the room itself.
- Adults-only and no pets — The hotel only accepts adults, so it's not suitable for families with children, and pets are not allowed.
- Some rooms lack windows — The Superior Double or Twin Room is listed as 'No Window', which could be a drawback if natural light matters to you.
