  • Rooms and cleanliness rated lower — The Rooms and cleanliness category scored a 7, lower than other aspects, though reviews still mention cleanliness positively. This might indicate some inconsistency.
  • Potential street noise — Though the hotel has soundproofed rooms, one guest noted the noise from the streets despite the room being quiet, so light sleepers might still be affected.
