Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Dining could improve — The breakfast buffet is generally praised, but the in-house restaurant and bar received mixed feedback, with some guests finding the dining options average.
  • Rooms show some wear — While rooms are spacious, a few guests mention dated carpets or worn furnishings, suggesting the property could use a refresh in places.
  • Check-in window ends early — Check-in is only possible until 23:30, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, so guests arriving by car may need to find public parking nearby.
