Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Stylish but not spotless — One review mentioned a room issue, and the lowest rating category is 7.8 (General), suggesting occasional consistency gaps.
  • No pets allowed — The inn does not allow pets, so you'll need to leave furry friends at home.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 20:00, so plan your arrival accordingly.
  • Breakfast can be busy — While breakfast is praised, the inn's popularity means the dining area may feel crowded at peak times.
