Worth weighing

- Basic amenities only in public areas — Wi-Fi is limited to public spaces, and there's no mention of air conditioning in standard rooms. You'll need the deluxe room for cooling.
- Pets not allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place—the policy is a firm no.
- No parking mentioned — There's no information about on-site parking, so if you're driving, you'll need to plan ahead.
