Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Mixed guest satisfaction — With an overall rating of 7.0 and one review scoring 5.8, experiences vary. Some guests found the hotel dated or less polished.
- Paid parking only — Parking is not free — it's paid, and availability is not guaranteed. The description notes public parking 'nearby', not on-site.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight would miss it. Check-out is by 10:00.
