Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No on-site parking mentioned — The property doesn't list parking, and reviews mention being directed to nearby parking lots rather than having dedicated guest parking.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:59 — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight may need to arrange alternative access.
  • Breakfast not always guaranteed — While several reviews praise the breakfast, some mention it's available on weekdays only, and it may be an extra cost rather than always included.
