Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No parking on site — The hotel does not list parking as an amenity, so driving guests may need to find nearby options.
  • Pets not allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this hotel won't accommodate them.
  • Limited check-in hours — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:00, so late arrivals may face issues.
