Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast comes at a premium — A guest noted that the breakfast is pricey for what you actually eat, suggesting you might find a more economical option in the cafés along the shopping centre.

- Pets allowed but with possible restrictions — Policies state pets are allowed, but the amenities list also says 'No pets allowed' – this contradiction may mean certain restrictions or fees apply, so it's best to confirm in advance.
- Late check-in time — Check-in opens at 17:59, which is unusually late and may be inconvenient for travellers arriving earlier in the day.

The service was friendly and professional throughout.”
