Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — Despite one guest saying their dogs felt at home, the hotel policy clearly states pets are not allowed.
- Limited check-in window in the evening — Check-in is from 15:00 to 21:00, which may be tight for late arrivals.

- Rooms without windows available — Some room types have no window, which may feel closed in for some guests.
