Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining scores lower — The dining rating sits at 6/10, below the hotel's other categories. While breakfast is mentioned positively, it may not be the highlight of the stay.
- Potential street noise — Being on a lively street with many clubs and restaurants, noise at night is a possibility, as one guest noted. Soundproofing may help, but it's not guaranteed.
- No pets or parking — The hotel does not allow pets, and there is no on-site parking listed. Guests arriving by car may need to find alternatives.
- Small room sizes — Some rooms, like the single and standard double, may feel compact, as reflected by a guest who found their room small.
