Food expensive, nothing nearby, weekend shuttles.

More suited to business travellers.
A few guests said that they thought the rooms to be past their prime, with others finding them to be not so personal and better suited for business travellers. Despite this, guests nevertheless considered them to be tidy and comfortable.
