Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small-scale property — With only 12 rooms, the hotel may feel intimate but could lack the amenities of larger properties, such as on-site dining or a full-service lobby.
- Musty smell in some rooms — One guest reported a musty odor near the window, possibly from mold—worth noting for sensitive travelers, though the same guest still rated it highly.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late-night arrivals. Check-out is between 10:00 and 11:00, a relatively short window.
- No pets allowed — Travelers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hotel explicitly prohibits pets.
