Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Price and service score lower — While the overall rating is high, the price and service category scores 7/10, lower than other aspects. Guests didn't complain directly, but it suggests the value equation isn't as strong as the rest of the experience.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place. The hotel clearly states no pets are allowed on site.
  • Check-in window — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, so if you're arriving late at night, you'll need to plan accordingly.
