4 to weigh- Breakfast is at a nearby café, not in the hotel — Guests note breakfast is served in a separate building down the street – simple coffee and pastries, not a full hotel spread.
- No on-site staff after hours — Some guests note there's no permanent front desk; you reach staff by phone, though responses are quick.
- Complex parking — Parking exists (private), but guests describe it as tricky to navigate, though the manager helps sort it out.
- Comfort rating lower than other categories — While most guests are happy, the comfort rating sits at 5.9, suggesting some rooms may be less comfortable than expected.
