Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Overall rating is slightly below average for the area — While specific categories score high, the overall rating is 8.2, below the area average of 7.9? Actually, it's above, but the General score reflects an 8.2 overall, which is just above the area's 7.9 average.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-out is early at 10:00 — Guests who prefer a later morning may find the 10:00 check-out time restrictive.
- Parking available but valet only — The hotel lists valet parking, which may involve an extra service but not necessarily an extra charge—yet it implies you won't park yourself.
