In brief
What works, what to weigh
+

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No elevator — If you have heavy luggage or limited mobility, be prepared for stairs. One reviewer noted this as the only drawback.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 15:00, a single hour. If you arrive outside this window, you'll need to plan accordingly.
- Service and value score slightly below rooms — While staff ratings are high, the Service and Value categories sit at 7.8 — solid, but a notch below the Rooms score of 8.2.
