Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms may feel dated — A few guests note that the hotel shows its age, with older furnishings or carpets, even though everything is kept clean.
- Value rating slightly below other scores — While the location and service are strong, some guests feel the price-to-quality ratio could be better for the room size or decor.
- Street noise possible in front rooms — The hotel is on a main street in the historic center, so rooms facing the street may experience some traffic noise, especially during the day.
