Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Wi-Fi can be unreliable — Some guests found the free Wi-Fi slow, which may be an issue for those needing steady internet.
- City views may disappoint — Rooms facing the city can look out over smog and traffic rather than scenery, which doesn't suit everyone.
- Limited on-site parking — Parking is available, but details are scarce; it's best to confirm availability before arriving.
- Mixed value perception — While the value rating is decent, some guests feel the facilities are basic for the price, especially rooms without full amenities.
