Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Wi-Fi can be unreliable — While most guests found the free Wi-Fi fine, one reviewer noted it barely worked about half the time.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so those traveling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited parking information — No parking details are provided, and guests suggest taxis can be hard to find in the area, so plan transport via metro.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight may not be accommodated.
