Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hotel’s policy is clear: no pets. If you’re travelling with a dog or cat, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59. If your flight lands late or you arrive after midnight, the 24-hour reception helps, but standard check-in ends at 11:59 PM.
  • Value rating is decent but not stellar — While rooms and service score 9+, the value category sits at 8.9 and general at 8.5. Some guests might find the price-point average for the area.
