Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining scores lower than other categories — The dining rating is 6, below rooms (8) and location (8), suggesting the food offering may not be a highlight.
- Rooms may overlook neighbouring buildings — One guest noted the executive room had a view of a neighbour's apartment, not a scenic vista.
- No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted on the property, a limitation for travellers with animals.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight are not accommodated within standard hours.
