Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness rated lower than other categories — While rooms are often praised in reviews, the 'Rooms and cleanliness' category scores 7 out of 10 — below the hotel's overall 8.8 rating.
- Premium pricing — With rates starting at $660 per night, this is a high-end stay; the price-to-service ratio may not suit all budgets.
- Pets allowed for a fee — If you're travelling with a pet, there's an extra charge — not included in the room rate.
- Check-in only from 3 PM — The check-in window starts at 15:00, which may mean a wait if you arrive earlier in the day.
