Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Value rating lags — At £96 per night, some guests feel the price doesn't fully match the experience, though most find it fair.
- No on-site parking mentioned — If you plan to drive, you may need to arrange parking nearby, as the hotel doesn't list a car park.
- Check-in window is fixed — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight won't be able to check in until the next day.
