–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The policy is firm: pets cannot stay, despite some reviews mentioning travelling with pets — those may be from other properties, so confirm before booking if you plan to bring one.
- Late check-in window — Check-in is limited to 20:00–23:59, which is tight if you plan to arrive earlier. Check-out is 10:00, so it's not a lie-in kind of place.
- Mixed review scores — Individual reviews range from 5 to 9, and the overall rating of 7.8 is just below the area average of 7.9. Some guests found the staff-managed jacuzzi odd; others didn't mention it.
- No on-site restaurant — The amenity list includes vending machines but no dining options, so you'll need to go out for meals.
