Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-out is early — Check-out runs from 06:00 to 10:00, which may feel tight for guests who like a slow morning.
- Simple room categories — Only two room types are listed publicly – a Standard King and a Family Room – so options are limited for those wanting a suite or twin configuration.
- No pets allowed — If you travel with a dog or cat, this inn isn't an option – pets are not permitted on site.
- Airport transfer comes at a cost — A paid airport shuttle is available, so factor that into your budget if you're arriving by plane.
