Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Pets are not allowed — The hotel operates a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make alternative arrangements for a four-legged companion.
- Limited on-site dining options — While there is a bar/lounge and snack bar, the hotel doesn't have a full restaurant, so you may need to venture out for lunch or dinner.
- No private parking — The property does not list parking facilities, so if you're driving, you'll need to rely on nearby public parking.
- Check-in ends at midnight — If you're arriving late, note that check-in is only available until 23:59, so plan your arrival accordingly.
