Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness could improve — While many guests were happy, the lowest rating category for the hotel is rooms and cleanliness at 7 out of 10, suggesting some inconsistency.
- Not all reviews are glowing — A few guests gave ratings around 7, with one simply saying 'All right' — indicating a solid but not exceptional experience for some.
- Check-in window starts at 2 PM — Standard check-in is from 14:00, so early arrivals may need to wait or use luggage storage.
