Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Possible housekeeping oversights — One guest found dust and forgotten items under the bed, suggesting that deep cleaning may be inconsistent.
- Mixed front desk responsiveness — While most found staff excellent, one guest reported that the front desk seemed indifferent when they reported a lost item, until the manager intervened.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a limitation for those traveling with animals.
- Check-in window may be restrictive — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, which could be inconvenient for late arrivals after midnight.
