Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Facilities score lower than other categories — Guests rate facilities at 7.5, the lowest of all categories. This suggests the property is more about location and service than extensive on-site amenities.
  • General rating is modest — The overall guest rating is 8.3, which is solid but not exceptional. Some reviewers note the location is the main draw, implying other aspects may not stand out.
  • Limited room variety for some needs — All rooms have showers only (no bathtubs), and many rooms use single beds, including the family suite. If you prefer a bathtub or a larger bed, options are limited.
