Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Compact scale — With just 14 rooms, the hotel is intimate but may feel limited if you're looking for extensive facilities like a gym or spa.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
- Limited on-site parking — Parking is available but likely at a nearby public lot; valet is offered for convenience but may not be free.
- Small breakfast area — The restaurant is compact, which could feel crowded during peak breakfast hours.
