Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Inconsistent room quality — The hotel has both renovated and older rooms. Older rooms are dated, and some have thin curtains that don't block light.
- Potential drafts in some bathrooms — At least one guest reported a cold bathroom due to a window that lets in cold air even when closed.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59, which may be restrictive for late-night arrivals.
