Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Modest rating for the class — With an overall rating of 6/10 and an area average of 7.8, this is a basic 2-star property; expectations should be aligned accordingly.
- Breakfast room in the basement — One guest noted stairs down to the breakfast room; this could be a hurdle for those with mobility concerns.
- No air conditioning listed — Amenities do not include air conditioning, so summer stays may rely on windows and fans.
