Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Ground-floor noise from the alley — The hotel is next to an alley, which some guests mentioned as a nighttime consideration. Light sleepers may want earplugs.
- Modest rating for a 4-star — With a 7.5/10 average from 42 reviews, it sits slightly above the area average (7.3) but below what you might expect from a four-star property.
- No parking or pets — On-site parking is not listed, and pets are not allowed, which could be limiting for some travellers.
