–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited parking options — Only valet parking is available, which may not suit those who prefer self-parking or need to come and go frequently.
- Smaller rooms for groups — The quadruple room sleeps up to four, but the property is a 3-star hotel with compact spaces, likely not ideal for those needing separate bedrooms.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
- Check-in window tightens late — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so arriving after midnight isn’t possible without prior arrangement.
