Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 17:00, which may be tight if you're arriving on an early or late flight. Plan your arrival accordingly.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're traveling with an animal.
  • Comfort rating lags behind other categories — While most scores are above 9.4, Comfort sits at 7.5 – a hint that some travelers might find the beds or overall comfort level not quite as high as other aspects of the stay.
