Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness rated low — The lowest category score (5/10) suggests mixed feedback on room condition and housekeeping.
- Limited room count — With only 16 rooms, availability can be tight and the hotel may feel small, but it also means more personalized service.
- Price and service could be better — The price-and-service category scores 7, and one review noted that being close to the center was its only redeeming feature.
- Potential street noise — Being on a main riverfront road in a shopping area might bring traffic noise, though no specific complaint was recorded.
