Worth weighing
5 to weigh- No on-site restaurant — The hotel does not have a restaurant despite some amenities suggesting otherwise, so guests need to eat out – though the central location makes this easy.
- Compact rooms — Several rooms, especially the Small Double and Interior Double, can feel tight, with limited space to move around and small bathrooms with stand-up showers only.
- Internet can be unstable — While Wi-Fi is available throughout, some guests have experienced unstable connections.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travelers wanting to bring their animals.
- No parking on site — The hotel does not offer its own parking, so guests arriving by car will need to arrange parking nearby (paid airport shuttle is available as an alternative).
