Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Comfort and facilities ratings are lower — Comfort (7.7) and facilities (7.4) are the weakest categories, suggesting the hotel may feel dated or basic in some areas.
- No pets allowed — If you’re travelling with a pet, you’ll need to make other arrangements.
- On-site parking is not free — There is a car park and valet parking, but the cost isn’t included in the room rate—expect to pay extra if you drive.
- Limited dining options on site — The hotel has a restaurant and bar, but if you’re staying multiple nights, you’ll have to leave the airport for more variety.
- Check-in window closes at 23:59 — If your flight arrives after midnight, you’ll need to contact the hotel in advance as the listed check-in hours end at 23:59.
