Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Only six rooms — With such a small number of rooms, availability can be limited and the property may sell out quickly for peak dates.
- Limited room types — The only room category listed is a Guest Room with either two singles or one double — no suites or family rooms appear.
- No pets allowed — Guests traveling with animals will need to look elsewhere, as the policy is explicitly no pets.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in starts at 08:00 and closes at 22:00 — late arrivals may need to make alternative arrangements.
