Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort rating lags — The comfort category sits at 6.1, well below other scores. Guests mention small bathrooms and occasional noise, though most find rooms quiet.
- Some staff interactions disappoint — While staff scores are high overall, one review describes unfriendly service and an unexpected request to pay at check-in, so experiences vary.
- Limited breakfast hours? No—breakfast is praised, but it's not included in room rates — Breakfast is available at the restaurant and receives positive mentions, but it is not mentioned as complimentary. Guests should confirm pricing with the hotel.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
