Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in starts at 15:00 — Rooms are available from 3 pm, with a check-in window that runs until just before midnight. Early arrivals may need to store luggage.
- Breakfast can be inconsistent — While most praise the breakfast, a couple of reviewers found the selection merely adequate, suggesting the spread can vary.
- Limited on-site parking — No parking is listed among the amenities, so guests arriving by car may need to arrange parking nearby or rely on the paid shuttle.
