Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining scores lower than other categories — The hotel's dining rating is 6/10, suggesting the on-site food may be less impressive than the rooms and location.
- Limited on-site parking — Parking is listed as available, but with only public parking mentioned, spaces may be scarce or at a distance.
- Small, varying room sizes — One guest notes the hotel has only 10 rooms and that sizes vary, so some rooms may feel compact.
- Check-in window closes at midnight — While reception is 24-hour, the official check-in hours end at 23:59, so late arrivals should plan ahead.
