Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms scored below average — Guests rated rooms and cleanliness at 5 out of 10, suggesting some may find the accommodations basic or worn.
  • Dining experiences vary — Dining received a 6 out of 10, and while some praised breakfast, others may find the restaurant options limited or inconsistent.
  • Price and service could be better — The 'Price and service' category sits at 6 out of 10, suggesting the value might not always meet expectations for the rate.
  • Check-in closes at midnight — Even with 24-hour reception, check-in is only available from 15:00 to 23:59. If you land after midnight, you'll need to use the shuttle and hope your room is ready—though the front desk can still assist.
