Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small-scale property — A compact hotel, which suits travellers who prefer a more intimate stay but may lack extensive facilities.
- No pets allowed — Guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited dining — There's a restaurant and packed lunches, but the breakfast experience gets mixed mentions in reviews.
- Vending machines only for snacks — Beyond the restaurant, quick snacks are limited to vending machines, so late-night cravings may be unmet.
