Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic facilities — The facilities rating is the lowest category at 7.0, suggesting the property may feel dated or lack certain extras.
- Adults-only policy — Children are not accommodated, so it may not suit those travelling with a family, despite a mention of a family trip.
- No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, which could be an issue for those driving in Lima; airport shuttle is paid.
- No pets allowed — Travellers wanting to bring a pet won't be able to, as the property explicitly does not allow them.
