Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms and cleanliness rated lower — The hotel scores a 6 here, lower than its location or service, so expectations for room quality should be modest.
  • Basic breakfast — The complimentary breakfast is described as very basic, though it saves time and money before heading out.
  • Dining rating below average — Food and beverage options score a 5, which may be a drawback if you plan to eat at the hotel often.
  • Interior rooms without view — The Interior Economy Double Room has no view, so if a vista matters, book a higher category.
