Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness score lower — Guest ratings suggest that while rooms are generally comfortable, the overall standard of rooms and cleanliness doesn't quite match other aspects of the stay.
- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby.
- Limited room variety in some categories — While there are several room types, some rooms are listed as having a single bed, which may not suit all travelers.
