Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness rated lower — The 'Rooms and cleanliness' category scores 6, below other aspects, suggesting some guests found room standards or tidiness lacking.
- Price point may be high — Some guests note the restaurant is 'not on a budget', and the price-to-service rating is 7, indicating value could be better.
- Small beds in some rooms — A guest was surprised at how comfortable the bed was 'despite how small it looked'—older buildings sometimes mean compact doubles.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which may matter for travellers with animals.
