In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Check-out is relatively early — Guests must vacate their rooms by 10:00 AM, which may feel rushed for those not needing to be out early.

  • Airport shuttle is paid — While a shuttle is available, it comes at an extra cost, so factor this into your travel budget.
