Worth weighing

  • Comfort rating lower than other categories — Comfort scores 7.1, below the overall 9.1 average, which may point to inconsistent bedding or room temperature despite central heating.
  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this isn't the place—the hotel explicitly states 'No pets allowed' in policies and amenities.
