Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Service scores below average — The Service rating sits at 6.8 out of 10, the lowest category, suggesting occasional inconsistencies in service delivery.
  • Rooms without windows — One room type, the Superior Without Window Twin Room, has no window, which may feel closed-in for some guests.
