Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small property, limited rooms — With only six rooms, availability can be tight and the experience is more intimate than a full-service hotel.
- No on-site parking — Parking is not listed among the amenities, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 13:00 and 20:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
- Breakfast not always included — While some reviews mention a great breakfast, it is not listed as a standard amenity, so guests should confirm availability.
