Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • Dining and service scores are moderate — While breakfast is praised, the dining and price/service categories score 6 out of 10, suggesting room for improvement in these areas.
  • Parking is available but not specified as free — Parking is listed as an amenity, but rates are not mentioned. Check with the hotel for any parking fees.
