Worth weighing

  • Value rating lower than other categories — The Value rating at 7.6 is the lowest category, suggesting some guests felt the price didn't quite match expectations.
  • No pets allowed — If you travel with an animal, this property isn't suitable.
  • Parking is nearby, not on-site — Public parking is available close by, but it isn't hotel-owned, so availability and cost could vary.
