Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can feel small — While described as first-rate, some guests find the rooms compact — a consideration if you're planning a longer stay or need extra space.
- On-site extras add up — Bottled water, breakfast, and bike rentals carry notable markups; you can avoid them by planning ahead or seeking alternatives nearby.
- Breakfast pricing can surprise — The buffet is pricey at around $30 US, and guests who only want coffee may be charged unless they specify otherwise.
