Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can be small — A few guests note that rooms, especially twins, are small — though clean and adequate, they may feel compact for some.
- Parking is limited — On-site parking is available, but some guests mention street parking only after 18:00, so arriving earlier may require alternative arrangements.
- Breakfast can be inconsistent — While many guests praise breakfast, one rated it just 'okay', suggesting variability in the offering.
