Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness rated low — The 'Rooms and cleanliness' category scores only 6 out of 10, suggesting some guests may find the room standards or upkeep below expectations.
- Dining scores below average — The 'Dining' category gets a 5 out of 10, even though some reviews praise the breakfast and evening meal value. This mixed feedback indicates inconsistency.
- Potential noise from fire alarm issues — One guest reported a faulty fire alarm that went off several times during the night, which could disrupt sleep.
- Paid Wi-Fi in public areas only — Wi-Fi is not free and is limited to public areas, which may be inconvenient for guests needing internet in their rooms.
