Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, and one guest notes that parking is available but only for a fee. If you arrive by car, plan to use paid public parking nearby.
- Limited room capacity — With only 7 rooms, availability can be tight, and the property may feel intimate rather than expansive. Book well ahead if your dates are fixed.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00. If your travel plans might bring you later, you'll need to arrange something in advance.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're travelling with an animal.
