Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are basic — Keep expectations in check: rooms are clean and functional but minimal, with no extra frills beyond the essentials.
- No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements for animal companions.
- No on-site parking listed — There's no mention of parking facilities, so if you're driving, you may need to find alternative options nearby.
- Breakfast not universally praised — While many appreciate the value, some guests found the breakfast less compelling, and the boiled duck eggs were a particular point of contention for a few.
