Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Pool is seasonal and may be closed outside summer — The outdoor pool only operates seasonally, so it may not be available for all visits.
- No pets allowed — Guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere, as the policy is strictly no pets.
- Check-in starts relatively late — With check-in from 15:00, early arrivals may face a wait; express check-in/out is available but timing is fixed.
- Mixed value perception — While the value score is decent (8.0), some guests rate the property lower on cleanliness or general comfort, suggesting inconsistency.
