Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are basic and dated — Some guests note the hotel is old and not luxurious, with rooms that are simple rather than polished. For the price, this is understood, but be prepared for a no-frills experience.
- Breakfast hours are limited — If you're planning to use breakfast, note that service hours are short, which may be inconvenient for early risers or those with tight itineraries.
- Some rooms are small — A guest mentions a 'small double bed' room type; while some rooms are reasonably large, others might feel cramped for two people.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with an animal, this hotel won't work — the property officially prohibits pets.
