Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities score below par — The fitness centre and other facilities earned a lower 6.6 rating, so don't expect a state-of-the-art gym.
- Comfort rating is moderate — Comfort scored 7.2, suggesting rooms may feel a bit dated or less plush than some four-star peers.
- Windows may be dirty in some rooms — At least one guest reported grubby windows that hampered the view, so check your specific room.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, you'll need to look elsewhere – the hotel explicitly prohibits pets.
