Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 18:00, which may be tricky if you arrive later in the evening. Check-out is also early, between 08:00 and 10:00.
  • Paid parking nearby, not on-site — The property mentions public parking nearby, but there’s no dedicated hotel parking. It may cost extra and availability isn’t guaranteed.
  • No pets allowed — If you’re travelling with a pet, this won’t be the right fit — the hotel doesn’t allow pets on site.
  • No on-site dining beyond breakfast — While breakfast gets good marks, there’s no full restaurant. You’ll need to head out for lunch and dinner, though guests note plenty of options nearby.
