Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this isn't the place — the policy is strictly no pets on site.
- Limited in-room amenities (basic rooms) — Some room categories, like the Single Room, don't list a private bathroom, and only select rooms have heating, a balcony, or a fireplace.
- Check-in window may be tight for late arrivals — Check-in is only available from 12:00 to 23:59, so if you're arriving after midnight, you'll need to arrange alternative plans.
- Overall comfort rating slightly lower than other scores — While rooms and service earn high marks, the comfort category sits a bit lower at 8.5, suggesting some rooms may feel less plush than expected.
