Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Air conditioning not guaranteed in all rooms — One guest paid for a 'superior' room and found it had no air conditioning during very high temperatures, which was a dealbreaker for them.
  • Comfort rating is the lowest category — At 6.8, Comfort lags behind other categories, suggesting that beds, noise insulation, or temperature control may be inconsistent.
  • Some guests found the overall experience thin — One review noted that beyond friendly staff, there wasn't much else—so if you're after a fuller amenity set, this is a basic stay.
  • Value and general ratings are on the lower side — Value scores 7.7 and General 7.7, below the area average of 8.4, suggesting some guests feel the price-to-comfort ratio could be better.
