Worth weighing

- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so those travelling with animals will need to make other arrangements.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 21:30, so late arrivals outside this window won't be able to check in. Plan your travel accordingly.
- Some rooms are compact — The hotel offers 'Small Double' and 'Small Twin' rooms, which are noted as snug. If you need more space, consider a Superior or Deluxe option.
