Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • 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.
