In brief
What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No pets allowed — The property has a strict no-pets policy, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 19:00, and check-out is from 07:00 to 10:00, which is a narrower window than many hotels.
- Mixed value and service ratings — While guests enjoy their stay, Value and Service scores are relatively lower at 6.9, and General sits at 6.9, indicating some inconsistency.
