Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small property, limited scale — With just 10 rooms, this is an intimate hotel—great for personal service, but it may lack the facilities of a larger property.
- No dedicated parking listed — Parking is not mentioned in the policies, so guests arriving by car may need to find street parking or a nearby garage.
- Mixed early ratings — The overall score sits at 7.5, with guest reviews ranging from 7 to 9.8, so experiences can vary.
