Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can be compact — Some guests found the standard room small, though clean and with everything needed. If space matters, consider the larger room types.
- Early check-out — Check-out is at 09:00, which is earlier than many hotels. Plan for a morning departure.
- Limited evening check-in window — Check-in runs from 10:30 to 21:00. If you arrive late, you may need to coordinate with the hotel in advance.
