Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place – the hotel's policy is strictly no pets.
- Mixed room ratings — Rooms score a modest 7.1, suggesting some guests find them basic or dated. Triple rooms sleep three, but options are limited.
- Limited evening check-in window — Check-in ends at 23:59, so late arrivals need to plan ahead – the front desk isn't available around the clock.
