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.
