Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Compact rooms — The property is small, and some guests mention that rooms are on the smaller side, especially the doubles.
- No pets and adults only — The hotel does not allow pets and is restricted to adults, which may not suit families or those traveling with animals.
- Limited amenities — There is no on-site parking, and the hotel lacks some standard facilities like a fitness center or spa (only massage is offered).
