Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Dining options are limited — The dining score is below average, and the on-site restaurant seems to be the only eating option.
- Basement rooms may feel less bright — The Economic Basement Double Room is below ground level, which may suit budget travelers but not those wanting natural light.
- Pets not allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
