- Pets not allowed — Travelers with pets will need to make other arrangements, as the hotel enforces a strict no-pets policy.
- Single daily rating below 9 — While most categories score above 8.5, the 'General' rating is 8.5, slightly lower than the room and service scores, suggesting some inconsistency in overall experience.
