In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are dated — Guests describe the furniture and bathrooms as old, with some upkeep issues such as a dirty shower faucet.
- Wi-Fi is not free — Unlike many hotels, Wi-Fi is a paid extra – a common guest complaint.
- Breakfast is just average — While the food is acceptable, it doesn't stand out; one guest called it 'okay'.
- Some value concerns — Given the dated rooms and extra Wi-Fi charge, some guests felt the price didn't fully reflect the condition of the property.
