Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small scale means limited rooms — With only 9 rooms, availability may be limited, and the intimate setting isn't for those seeking large resort facilities.
- Adults-only and no pets — Families with children or travelers with pets need to look elsewhere, as the hotel is adults-only and does not allow pets.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 12:00 to 18:00, which might be restrictive for late arrivals.
