Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small property with limited rooms — With only 11 rooms, the hotel may lack the facilities and buzz of larger properties.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with an animal, this isn't the place — the hotel explicitly prohibits pets.
- Check-in window may be restrictive — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive after midnight, you may need to arrange late arrival.
