About

Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Mixed reviews on dining and service — With rating categories of 6 for both Dining and Price/Service, some guests may find food and value inconsistent, despite many positive individual comments.
  • Rooms and cleanliness get average marks — A 7.0 rating in this category suggests that while many rooms are large and clean, some may feel dated or worn.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel's policy explicitly prohibits pets, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-out is early — Guests must vacate by 10:00 AM, which may feel rushed for those wanting a lazy morning.
  • Street noise potential — Being directly on the promenade with a tramline outside, some rooms facing the front may experience tram and traffic sounds.
