Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No parking on site — The property does not list parking facilities, which may be a consideration if you plan to drive.
- Check-in ends at midnight — Check-in is only available from 12:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals before 00:00 are still fine, but if you land after midnight you'll need to adjust plans.
- Pets not allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
