Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • Limited dining options — There's no restaurant or breakfast service on site – you'll be heading out to nearby eateries.
  • Small property, fewer amenities — With just 32 rooms, the hotel keeps things simple – no pool, gym or spa, which may not suit everyone.
  • Mixed reviews on room quality — While many praise cleanliness, overall rating is 6.6 and one guest found the double room average, despite the new look.
