–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Modest overall rating — With an overall score of 7.9 and a value rating of 7.5, expectations should be grounded in a budget-friendly, no-frills stay rather than a luxury experience.
- Comfort rating below average — Comfort scores 7.5, slightly lower than the other categories, suggesting some guests may find the bedding or room ambiance less than perfect.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 22:00, so if you arrive late, you’ll need to plan accordingly.
