Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness score lower — The 6/10 rating for rooms and cleanliness suggests some guests found the accommodations less impressive than other aspects.
- Location rating below average — At 6/10, the location score is below the area's average (8.4), indicating it may not suits everyone's preference.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be a limitation for travelers with animals.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals past midnight cannot check in that day.
