Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms show their age — One guest noted that while rooms are spacious, the decor feels old-fashioned and could use updating. Another mentioned that the shower water flow can be troublesome.
- Value for money rated lower — The Value category scores 7.5, the second-lowest rating, suggesting some guests feel the price doesn't quite match the experience, even though others call it good value.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is available only between 11:00 and 17:30, which may be inconvenient if you arrive late or have a delayed flight.
