Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The property doesn't list parking, so guests arriving by car will need to find public options nearby or use transit.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 21:00. Late arrivals risk missing the window unless they coordinate with staff, though one reviewer noted staff stayed late for them.
- No pets allowed — The hotel is pet-free, which may be a drawback for travelers with animals.
- Mixed reviews on some aspects — While many guests are satisfied, a few note the location as merely 'decent' and others give moderate scores, possibly due to personal preferences or noise.
