- Limited breakfast variety — Breakfast is served in the room and described as tasty but with limited options.
- Pets not allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, which may be a drawback for travelers with animals.
- Check-in window only until midnight — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight would need to plan ahead.
