Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can feel dated — Some guests mentioned tired decor and worn-out bathrooms, particularly older fittings and a weak shower.
- Cleanliness inconsistencies — A minority reported carpets not being in the cleanest condition on arrival, despite overall positive feedback.
- Facilities score is lower — The facilities rating is notably below the hotel's other scores, suggesting the gym or business areas may not impress everyone.
- No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, which limits options for those travelling with animals.
