Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Comfort rating lags other scores — While facilities hit 10 and staff 9.6, comfort sits at 7.3 — the lowest category — suggesting some guests find the beds or rooms less than perfect.
  • Generic location — One guest called the area 'more commercial', and the property doesn't sit directly in the historic centre. Still, it's walkable to the CTICC and Waterfront.
  • No pets allowed — The property's policy is no pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
