Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Comfort is basic — The Comfort rating of 5.9 is the lowest on the property, suggesting the beds, rooms, and overall feel don't match the convenience of the location. Expect a functional stay rather than a pampering one.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Value rating is modest — Despite the low price, the Value score of 6.9 is below the property's overall rating, suggesting some guests find the basic facilities or room sizes don't fully justify the cost once other factors are considered.
