–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities are modest — The Facilities category scores 7.0, the lowest of all categories, so don't expect extensive on-site amenities beyond the pool and basic services.
- Dining options may be limited — Dining scores 9.3, but if you're looking for a full restaurant or bar, the hotel's own offering could be narrower than larger properties.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive very late, you may need to plan ahead with the 24-hour reception.
