In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

  • Fast and reliable Wi-Fi — Reviewers highlight strong Wi-Fi, with several noting it was fast enough for streaming on the TV.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is specific — Check-in runs from 11:30 to 23:00, so late arrivals after 11 PM won't be able to check in that night. Plan your arrival accordingly.
  • Paid airport shuttle only — The hotel offers an airport shuttle, but it's paid. There's no free transfer, so budget for this if you're flying in.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel doesn't accept pets, so if you're travelling with an animal, you'll need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited room options — The database lists a single room type – a Deluxe Double with one king bed. If you need twins, connecting rooms, or suites, this may not be the fit.
