Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 17:00, which may be inconvenient if your flight arrives later in the day.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel won't accommodate you.
- Some rooms may lack a bathtub — While Double and Queen Rooms have showers only, the King and Deluxe rooms add a bathtub. Check your room type if a bath is important to you.
- Pool may be under renovation — One recent guest noted that the pool area was undergoing renovations during their stay, so it might not always be available.
- Central location can feel busy — Being in the heart of the city means you're surrounded by bars and clubs, which could bring street noise at night.
