–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Only 11 rooms — The small scale means limited availability, and there is no mention of a full-service restaurant or lobby beyond a bar.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — If you're arriving late, you'll need to plan around the 14:30–23:00 check-in hours.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travelers with animals need to look elsewhere.
- Room rating below area average — While the overall rating is solid, the general room score (8.5) is slightly below the area's average of 8.9, suggesting some inconsistency.
