Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms are rated poorly — The rooms score just 2.5 out of 10 in the guest ratings, suggesting they may be basic, dated, or lacking in comfort.
  • Limited dining options — Dining scores only 4 out of 10, and there is no on-site restaurant — only vending machines for snacks and drinks.
  • Very few reviews — With only one review on file, it's hard to gauge the consistency of the experience.
