Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities get mixed marks — While the pools and sauna are appreciated, the Facilities rating is the lowest category at 8.1, suggesting some areas may feel dated or underwhelming.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- Potential for night-time noise — The hotel features a night club and live entertainment, which could mean noise for guests seeking a quiet evening.
