- Limited room amenities — While some room types (Quadruple, Private Bathroom) list amenities, others have none specified, and shared-bathroom options are available.
- Late check-out not available — Check-out is at 10:00, which is early for some travellers, though express check-in/out is offered.
- No pets allowed — The property does not allow pets, which may disappoint those travelling with animals.
