Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort rating lags behind — While most categories score above 9.6, 'Comfort' sits at 6.6, the lowest of the property. This may hint at beds or temperature control that some guests find less ideal.
- No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available from 13:00 to 23:59. If you arrive outside these hours, you'll need to coordinate with the hotel for access.
- Small scale, limited amenities — With only 21 rooms, the hotel has a limited range of on-site facilities. There's no restaurant or bar listed, and the only dining option appears to be room service.
