Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Wi-Fi can be unreliable — One guest reported the Wi-Fi didn't work in their room, and another mentioned it was included but not consistently reliable.
- Mixed experiences overall — The average guest score is 6.4 from 820 reviews, and some guests found the location merely 'fairly good' rather than outstanding.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 22:00, which may be restrictive if you arrive late at night.
