Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort scores lower — The comfort rating sits at 7.0, noticeably below other categories, so some guests may find the bedding or furnishings not to their taste.
- Check-in is limited to evening — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 22:00, which may be tight for late arrivals or those on early flights.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a furry friend, this isn't the place—pets are not permitted on site.
- Some reviews mention a modest rating — While the overall average is 8.5, a few reviews scored in the 5–7 range, citing issues like the room being cozy rather than spacious.
