Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, so guests arriving by car will need to make their own arrangements in the area.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 19:30, which could be restrictive if your arrival is later in the evening.
- Guest feedback is more reserved on value — While most ratings are strong, the Value score is the lowest at 8.6, and some reviews note the price for what's offered.
