Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities score below average — The Facilities rating is 5.9 out of 10, below other categories, suggesting the property's physical amenities (e.g., gym, pool, etc.) may not meet the expectations of a 4-star hotel.
- Value is rated lower than other aspects — The Value score is 7.3, the second-lowest rating category, indicating some guests feel the price does not fully match the experience, despite the included breakfast.
- No pets allowed and no parking listed — The hotel does not accept pets, and there is no parking information available, which may be a limitation for guests traveling with a car or a pet.
- Moderate overall guest score — With an average rating of 7.7 from 3,912 reviews, the hotel is decent but not top-tier—especially when compared to the area average of 8.7.
