Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Room assignments can be inconsistent — A few guests mentioned that their requested bedding configuration (e.g., twin beds) was not as reserved, which affected their experience.
- Location scores lower than other aspects — The Location rating category is the lowest at 5, and the area’s average rating is 9 out of 1973 properties. While the beach is close, the hotel is a bit removed from the city center.
- No pets allowed — The hotel enforces a no-pets policy, which may be limiting for travellers with animals.
