Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Facilities score lower than other categories — The facilities category sits at 7.0, the weakest of all ratings. This suggests the hardware (possibly gym, business center, or common areas) may feel basic even if service and rooms are solid.
  • Mixed value perception — While value scores a respectable 8.2, some guests found the experience underwhelming relative to price, with one review rating the stay 5 out of 10 despite praising the pool.
  • Limited check-out flexibility — Check-out starts as early as 01:00 and ends at 13:00, which may be restrictive for guests expecting a later departure. The late check-out window is narrow compared to many hotels.
