3 to weigh- Limited parking — On-site parking is available but spaces are limited; guests note that availability is not guaranteed, though the website does mention this.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Some rooms, like the Standard Double, do not have private bathrooms, which may be a consideration for privacy-focused travellers.
