Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Paid parking may be required — While some guests mention free on-site parking, the property also lists parking as an amenity, which could imply limited or paid parking depending on availability.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travelers wanting to bring their furry companions.
  • Some rooms lack balconies — Not all room types include a balcony, so guests wanting outdoor private space should specifically book a balcony room or confirm availability.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only available from 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals past midnight may need to make special arrangements.
