Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic service levels — Some service aspects may be basic; the rating for this category is 5.5, the lowest of all rated areas.
- Limited room count — With only 18 rooms, the hotel is small, which could mean a quieter stay but also fewer dining or leisure facilities.
- Dining rating is modest — The dining rating sits at 7.1, suggesting the on-site restaurant is adequate but not a standout.
- Parking may incur extra charges — Parking and valet parking are listed as amenities, but the cost is not specified, and it's likely paid.
