Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only possible between 16:00 and 23:59, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals or late flights.
- No pets allowed — The guesthouse does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Parking is off-site — Car parking is off-site (with handicap spaces available), so guests driving may need to park a short distance away.
- Some rooms may face street noise — A few reviews note the location in a neighbourhood of tall buildings, which could imply higher ambient noise in certain rooms.
- Value rating is slightly below other scores — While the overall rating is 8.7, the value category sits at 8.7 — suggesting the price is fair but not a standout bargain.
