Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Simple 2-star facilities — This is a budget property — expect no extras like a pool or gym, and rooms are basic, though clean.
- Limited soundproofing or privacy — Some rooms include balconies and face a busy downtown street, so street noise may carry — especially at night.
- No on-site fitness or wellness facilities — Those looking for a gym, spa, or pool should consider other options.
- Breakfast not consistently praised — While one guest loved the breakfast variety, another rated it lower (6.8) — so expectations for the meal may vary.
- No dedicated parking on site — Public parking is available nearby, but there is no private hotel parking.
