–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Limited facilities — The Facilities rating is only 4.7, the lowest category. The hotel has no fitness centre, pool, or on-site restaurant beyond a lobby café and breakfast. The meeting/banquet facilities are basic.
- Mixed room standards — Rooms are rated 5.9, with some guests finding them decent but others noting the need for maintenance (e.g., a bathtub issue that was fixed). The hotel has just 19 rooms, so options are few.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 18:00, which may be inconvenient for travellers arriving at other times. Check-out is 10:00-12:00.
