What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Noise from train tracks — Rooms face the railway line, and some guests note the sound of trains, which may be an issue for light sleepers.
- Early checkout time — Checkout is at 10:00, with a paid late checkout option. Guests have commented on this as a minor inconvenience.
- Basic comfort levels — Comfort rating is notably lower (6.0), and the 2-star status suggests rooms are functional rather than plush.
