Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Basic rooms and decor — Several guests note the rooms are simple and could be considered dated, though they're generally clean and comfortable.
- Limited breakfast options — While the breakfast is fresh and on time, some guests find the choices limited.
- Uncovered parking — The private parking is on site but not under cover, which may be a consideration for those wanting sheltered parking.
- Small and cold swimming pool — The pool is compact and not heated, so it's more for a quick dip than serious swimming.
- No kettle in the room — While free tea and coffee is available all day in common areas, there is no in-room kettle.
