Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small scale — With only 17 rooms, it's a compact property, so availability may be limited and the facilities are minimal.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 20:00, which might be tight if your arrival is late.
- No on-site parking — Parking isn't listed, so if you're driving you'll need to find alternatives nearby.
- No pets allowed — The hotel doesn't allow pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if you're traveling with an animal.
