Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Night lighting could be better — Some guests felt the room lighting was insufficient in the evenings, though natural light during the day was appreciated.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Parking may need extra planning — While parking is available, it's not on-site — guests mention 'parking is possible nearby', suggesting you may need to reserve or find a spot in the area.
