Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 21:00, which could be tight for late arrivals. Plan your travel schedule accordingly.
- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking, so guests arriving by car may need to find public parking in the area. This is worth considering if you plan to drive.
