Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Some rooms lack windows — The Deluxe Room No Window is an option, which may not suit travelers who prefer natural light or a view.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so those traveling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — Parking information is not listed in the input, so guests arriving by car should check directly with the hotel for options.
  • Check-in starts at 14:00 — The check-in window runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so early arrivals won't be able to access their room immediately unless arrangements are made.
