Worth weighing

  • Price is premium — Rates start at £493 per night, which is above the area average — a pricey stay for many budgets.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight must wait.
  • Parking is limited — On-site parking is only handicap parking; other guests may need valet or off-site options.
  • Some rooms lack air conditioning — While many rooms list air conditioning, the Tower King Suite, Loft, Top floor Loft Suite, and Top floor Loft do not include it.
