Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast experience can vary — While some guests enjoyed a cooked breakfast with plenty of options, others found the choices merely satisfactory, and one review rated the morning meal lower.
- Bar on site not always open — One guest noted that the hotel's bar was not yet open during their stay, although a bar next door was available.
- Parking is not on-site — Public parking is provided nearby rather than at the hotel itself, which may require a short walk with luggage.
- Small property with limited rooms — With 45 rooms, the hotel is relatively small, which could feel intimate but may also limit availability during busy periods.
